Which of those two commands (why are there two?) changes the video level?
I don't think they are supposed to change the level...

My last message contained a comment line which explains why there are two command lines:


// Open an input pipe from ffmpeg and an output pipe to a second instance of ffmpeg


One is an input pipe for reading video frames; the other is an output pipe for writing video frames.



The output pipe is the one modifying the video levels I have written in the C program.



out_range=full causes ffmpeg to force video levels to 0 - 255.


out_range=tv causes ffmpeg to force video levels to 16 - 235.



I want an option for ffmpeg to leave the video levels alone: out_range=unity. How do I submit this feature request?
