Handbrake, HDR10 and MaxFALL, MaxCLL parameters/values
Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2019 11:49 am
I am successfully using the handbrake cli (latest version) to encode large HDR10 HEVC videos to a smaller mkv, keeping (nearly) all the HEVC/HDR info/paremeters.
One current limitation of Handbrake is that it appears to lose the MaxFALL and MaxCLL HDR10 parameters which are potentially valuable bits of information.
I can extract these paremeters from the original HEVC file using mediainfo, and I wondered whether there was anyway to pass the parameters/values directly to the x265 encoder (which supports them as I understand) so they still exist in the encoded mkv video file. I have no idea whether this is possible and if so how to do it.
After posting i realise this should probably have been posted in the handbrake CLI section, although I am happy to get an answer that refers to the GUI or the CLI
