1851,libswscale does incorrect range conversion for RGB->YUV and RGB->RGB,gjdfgh,,"libswscale seems to do completely confused range conversions for RGB->YUV. RGB->RGB randomly ignores the source range (at least in the unscaled case), and always ignores the destination range. YUV->RGB ignores destination range as well. The only cases that appear to be working as expected are conversions with YUV->YUV.

Here's the output of a test program, that scales a solid image filled with gray=200, using various colorspace and range parameters. ""200"" is the input value, and the number after that the retrieved luma value or that of a RGB component. ""no-scale"" means it has been scaled with same source and destination width/height. The test program is attached as swscale.c to this ticket.

YUV->RGB ignores destination ranges, and always assumes full destination range.

RGB->YUV looks completely messed up. Maybe someone flipped a bit somewhere?

Scaled RGB->RGB ignores the destination range, and always seems to assume limitted range (so that rgb-lim->* does no conversion). Unscaled RGB->RGB ignores ranges completely, at least when the same pixel format is used.

If there's some logic behind this, I don't get it, and it's not documented.

If libswscale simply doesn't support limitted RGB range (which would lower its usefulness), at least the RGB->RGB case must be fixed.",defect,closed,important,swscale,git-master,invalid,,,,,0,0
