the problem is that this code is tied to extradata
and we only copy this atom into extradata for AVUI and DNXHD, for
other codecs we dont so this information is lost for them
I think the atom should be interpreted independant of the codec id
because, why not, if the mov file says its color_range is X why should
that be ignored for other codecs
