it is true, video is a nightmare mess littered with weird functionality nobody needs. (limited range only just disappeared in rec 2100, optionally??? really??? i'm not worried about my electron gun in my CRT from 1975 these days...nor do i want to know what a Y or a Cb or a Cr means because everything is RGB and B&W TV is long dead... and 4:2:2 is not exactly compression so much as computational overhead etc.. etc.)
its a nightmare, but the reason for these observations is precisely that it shouldn't be a nightmare. this area of programming is a wasteland ... nobody that good wants to solve these trivial problems :/
