But yes, when transcoding these 8-bit YUV420-709 sources to Cineform, setting the YUY2 output colorspace explicitly to 'Rec709' resolves the issue with the black-coded specular highlights - the GoPro vfw Cineform codec complains that "(?) Format Not Accepted by Codec, YMMV" but it still works. I guess that's the reason for the 'YMMV' ;>)
Yes, it is difficult to calculate the actual format applied with vfw codec, there is too much code involved. I chose between showing "YMMV" or nothing.
