Comment (by pdr0):

 It's been "fixed" a long time ago with the proper flags. It's just not
 well documented

 The popular way to do it these days is zscale . Format comes last in the
 filter chain, the earlier flags get passed to it

 [code]
 ffmpeg -i colortest_hd.bmp -vf zscale=matrix=709,format=yuv420p -c:v
 libx264 -crf 18 -x264opts colormatrix=bt709 zscale709.mp4
 [/code]

 It's a good idea to flag the colormatrix as 709

 Acceptable rounding error for 8bit conversions should be +/-3 for
 YUV<=>RGB conversions




 If using  swscale, you need -sws_flags full_chroma_int+accurate_rnd to
 reduce the rounding errors (accurate_rnd is the important one)

 [code]
 ffmpeg -i colortest_hd.bmp -vf
 scale=out_color_matrix=bt709:flags=full_chroma_int+accurate_rnd,format=yuv420p
 -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -x264opts colormatrix=bt709
 swscale709accurate_rnd.mp4
 [/code]

 [/code]
 ffmpeg -i colortest_hd.bmp -vf scale=out_color_matrix=bt709,format=yuv420p
 -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -x264opts colormatrix=bt709 swscale709.mp4
 [/code]

 As you see, "white" is 255,255,255 with the sws accurate_rnd flag, but
 discolored (252,255, 252) without.
