colour_range_Original / Color range

[rgr]

Why is this video so strangely described (bold), what's the point?

MPC recognizes this as Full / BT.601. Correctly?

No, it's BT.709, limited.

Color range : Limited
colour_range_Original : Full
Color primaries : BT.709
colour_primaries_Original : BT.601 NTSC
Transfer characteristics : BT.709
transfer_characteristics_Original : BT.601
Matrix coefficients : BT.709
matrix_coefficients_Original : BT.601

The video analyzed is BT.709, color range limited (probably resized), but was encoded from source BT.601, color range full.

_Original = flags of the stream
without the _Original = flags of the container
-> remuxing without the container flags should help.

It is definitely not limited, because Vegas also recognized it as full (see attachment).

This is a video file from my phone.

Thanks, got it.
The ffmpeg copy streams helped.

Selur and you are right, my mistake, sorry.
