I see that ffmpeg 8.0 has three new filters: Color Detect, Pad_Cuda, and
Scale_d3d11. In CinGG, I only see the first one, Color Detect, which
provides information on the “Jpeg/Mpeg” range and whether the alpha channel
is ‘premultiplied’ or “straight.” It doesn't give me any errors, but I
don't know where to see the information it provides.
FFmpeg 8.0 also has other good news: decoders for the APV mezzanine codec
(very interesting!) and for ProRes RAW. Improved VVC support (this would be
h266, the successor to h265). Then encoding/decoding via Vulkan of FFV1 and
ProRes Raw (for this only decoding). Still decoding Vulkan VP9, Vaapi VVC;
ProRes and VC-2.
I don't know if Vulkan AV1; ProRes and VC-2 encoding is already supported
or coming soon.
I don't know enough about other new features (G.728; Whip, etc.).
