  1. There is an original video (MediaInfo) my family:



    Tell me please, is it important to add these options to ffmpeg when encoding:
    Code:
    -color_range pc -color_primaries bt709 -color_trc 1 -colorspace 1
    ?

    Or is the usual bitrate reduction enough?
    Code:
    -b:v 6000k -maxrate 6000k -minrate 6000k -bufsize 90000k
    Original video does not contain bt709, color_range (0-255), etc.

    I can't figure, out if FFmpeg will leave it as it is, barely touching the original video (without ruining it), or if it's worth specifying the commands.

    Help please.

    Yes, worth adding. Even though it should be interpreted as BT.709 by default.

    The default is limited and that should be the information (-color_range tv). But whether it is actually limited range or full you should check.
