agreed . I was first trying x264 lossless. i read on ffmpeg site

Consider 17 or 18 to be visually lossless or nearly so; it should look the same or nearly the same as the input but it isn't technically lossless."
so was trying it out to see if i could make out any difference.
once i have the colors right there are 2 changes that i can think of
1. color_trc color_primaries colorspace will be set to bt709
2. crf value will be zero and/or if we settle with HEVC then x265-params lossless
