Imported footage tagged full range (AVCOL_RANGE_JPEG) was drawn as limited range on Windows, so its shadows and highlights clipped in preview and export.

Software path (CpuFrames)

  • swscale now gets the frame's range before init: full in, limited out. yuv420p / yuv420p10le full-range frames are normalised; yuvj* keeps working.
  • Limited input still goes through the same sws_getContext as before.

Hardware path (D3D11VA)

  • nv12_srvs records each frame's range per Y view, draw_video binds a 16-byte immutable cbuffer at b1.
  • sample_yuv expands full range to limited behind a uniform branch. Limited input keeps its exact math, so its pixels should not change.
  • This also covers yuvj420p H.264, which stays on D3D11VA.

Tests

  • cpu_frames_windows::full_range_yuv_is_normalised_to_limited: Y 0/255 full → 16/235, limited untouched.
  • compositor_windows::full_range_frames_mark_their_y_view.
  • cargo test -p openscreen-compositor: 491/492 lib tests pass and all 25 integration binaries pass, render goldens included. The one failure, playback_off_the_end_of_the_programme_stays_on_the_last_clip, fails on main too.

The lock on crates/compositor/** still needs its proof: pixel identity and perf on the reference project.

Fixes #1531

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved Windows video playback for full-range content, with more accurate brightness and color handling across CPU- and GPU-based rendering.
    • Preserved existing rendering behavior for unspecified and MPEG-range content.
    • Full-range frames now display with more consistent grayscale tones and neutral colors, while limited-range content continues to render as before.

Imported footage tagged AVCOL_RANGE_JPEG was drawn as limited range, so
its shadows and highlights clipped in preview and export.

- CpuFrames: set swscale's source range from the frame (full in, limited
  out) before init, so yuv420p/yuv420p10le full-range frames are
  normalised; yuvj* keeps working.
- D3D11VA: nv12_srvs records the frame's range per Y view, draw_video
  binds a tiny immutable cbuffer (b1), and sample_yuv expands full range
  to limited behind a uniform branch. Limited input keeps its exact math.

Walkthrough

Windows CPU conversion and D3D11 rendering now account for full-range video frames. Tests cover CPU conversion values, D3D11 range tracking, and rendered output.

Changes: Windows full-range video handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
CPU frame range conversion
crates/compositor/src/cpu_frames_windows.rs
The swscale cache key includes source range. Full-range input is configured for limited-range NV12 output. Presentation frames copy decoded-frame timestamps. Tests check luma endpoints and neutral chroma for full-range, limited-range, and unspecified input.
D3D11 range tracking and shader sampling
crates/compositor/src/compositor_windows.rs, crates/compositor/src/shaders.hlsl
The compositor tracks full-range Y views and binds the matching range constant buffer when drawing. The shader remaps full-range luma and chroma before BT.709 conversion. A test checks tracking when a texture is reused with MPEG range.
Full-range render validation
crates/compositor/tests/common/nv12.rs, crates/compositor/tests/full_range_render.rs
The NV12 test helper can mark a frame as full range. A Windows GPU test renders a uniform full-range frame and checks the output center’s RGB value.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to abcbe

This change makes full-range video render correctly on Windows. No outstanding merge-blocking concern remains. Pixel identity and performance on the reference project are still unverified, which is normal validation uncertainty.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: full-range video tagged AVCOL_RANGE_JPEG is now read as full range on Windows, which matches the compositor, swscale, shader, and test changes in the summary and objectives. It uses the conventional fix(scope) prefix and is 63 characters long.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the summary of the problem, the software path (CpuFrames), the hardware path (D3D11VA), and the tests run. It links the issue with 'Fixes #1531', so the related-issue section is filled. The template sections for Type of change, Release impact, Desktop impact, and Screenshots / video are not filled in. The Testing section is filled in with commands and results.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #1531 requires full-range (AVCOL_RANGE_JPEG) imported footage to render with its full range on Windows, on both the CpuFrames path and the D3D11VA path. CpuFrames: ensure_sws in crates/compositor/src/cpu_frames_windows.rs reads full = color_range == AVCOL_RANGE_JPEG, includes it in sws_key, and for full-range input calls sws_alloc_context with src_range = 1, dst_range = 0 before sws_init_context. Limited input still uses sws_getContext. The test full_range_yuv_is_normalised_to_limited checks Y 0→16 and 255→235 for full range and leaves limited input unchanged. D3D11VA: the PR description and raw summary state that nv12_srvs marks each Y view by range, draw_video binds a range cbuffer at b1, and sample_yuv expands full range before the existing BT.709 limited conversion. The compositor test full_range_frames_mark_their_y_view covers the marking. I did not re-read the shader or compositor hunks in this pass. Their support rests on the PR evidence and the prior review. No unmet coding requirement is shown. The pixel-identity and reference-project performance checks remain unverified, but the issue does not require them as coding tasks.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

At head abcbeb8, CpuFrames::present copies pts and best_effort_timestamp from the source frame to the presentation frame. The added comment cites Decoder::seek_to and decode_forward_to. This is a frame-timing behavior change. It does not relate to color range, the stated objective of #1531. The PR description does not mention it. The range changes in cpu_frames_windows.rs, shaders.hlsl, compositor_windows.rs, and the test files are in scope. The added pts/timestamp copy is not demonstrated to be required for #1531. The incremental diff tool could not read the changed blobs, so I read the file at head directly. The rest of the summary files (tests/common/nv12.rs, tests/full_range_render.rs) are test support for the range objective.

Resolution

Remove the pts and best_effort_timestamp copy from CpuFrames::present, or move it to a separate pull request linked to its own issue with its own description and tests. Then update the PR description so that every change in the diff is covered by #1531 or a linked issue.

neutral chroma center of 128/255, preserving neutral chroma while converting
range; add a rendered assertion that full-range (128, 128, 128) produces neutral
gray RGB output.

Tested on Windows 11 with an RTX 4090 Laptop, against main at da0e2e6, with a 1280x720 H.264 ramp (Y patches 0/8/32/128/224/248/255, neutral chroma) tagged full range, plus the same file untagged as a control. Each was imported, exported to MP4 1080p, and the patches measured in the export:

Build Full-range file, Y U/V
main 16 / 16 / 32 / 128 / 224 / 235 / 235 128 / 128
this branch 16 / 23 / 44 / 126 / 209 / 229 / 235 128 / 128
  • main ignores the flag: its full-range export is byte-identical to the untagged control, so 0 and 8 both land on 16, and 248 and 255 both on 235. This branch maps the range into limited as expected.
  • The untagged control exports byte-identical on main and this branch.
  • The two new tests (full_range_yuv_is_normalised_to_limited, full_range_frames_mark_their_y_view) pass on the GPU.
  • About CodeRabbit's chroma note on shaders.hlsl: the grey patches export at U/V 128.00 on this hardware path, so I couldn't see a tint.

…dows

The shader mapped full-range chroma with an offset of 16, so neutral 128
came out at 128.44 and full-range grey rendered tinted (129, 128, 129).
Scale chroma around 128 instead. The CPU path goes through swscale, which
already centres chroma; its test now asserts that too.

A render test draws a full-range (128, 128, 128) NV12 frame through the
D3D11 shader and checks it comes out neutral grey at 128.
