[Ffmpeg-devel] ffmpeg & postprocess_internal.h (colorspace issue)

[Kris A. Wotipka]

Michael,

Just realized that you are the one who wrote the postprocess_internal 
source.  Can you tell me what the line

/// select between full y range (255-0) or standart one (234-16)
#define FULL_Y_RANGE    0x8000                  // 32768

is for?  You can reply here or off list but it is making my brain hurt. 
  I am understanding now that I need to go to the YUV space with this 
now.  I am still trying to figure out the -pix_fmt yuvj420p is all 
about.  I am having a hard time finding docs on it.  From what I am am 
seeing, this throws it into PAL.  Are there some docs hidden somewhere 
that are additional to the ones that come with ffmpeg / or man ffmpeg.

Also, I am trying to figure out the compile sequence for this.  Should I 
compile the libpostproc then libavcodec then ffmpeg or if I make changes 
say to something in libavcodec do I need to recompile ffmpeg.

thanks again
