[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 2/2] avfilter/buffersrc: allow promoting color range to MPEG

[Niklas Haas]

From: Niklas Haas <git at haasn.dev>

Otherwise, passing an UNSPECIFIED frame to am MPEG-only filter graph
would trigger insertion of an unnecessary vf_scale filter, which would
perform a memcpy to convert between the two.

This is safe to do because unspecified YUV frames are already
universally assumed to be MPEG range, in particular by swscale.
