I found that some of my home video tapes, from DV camcorder have levels exceeding 16-235 range.
Using Hybrid, x264 everything beyond that range gets clipped.
In recent years LCD TVs are capable to display wider range of video (I would think so).
How would be possible to encode with x264 passing a full range of 0 - 255?
Not doing a level scaling from 0 -255 to 16-235 but just passing a whole range and letting media player or TV to clip it.
The question is, is it even a good idea, the levels might be conditioned, clipped in TV or player anyway?
