 == FFv1 Bayer coding support ==
 
-'''Description:''' FFv1 has become the de-facto standard for archival. However, it is capable of more than just long-term compression. The recent GPU implementation has demonstrated that its sufficiently fast to be used as a RAW format, allowing NLEs to work in a fully lossless flow. This project will implement support for common Bayer formats, both for encoding and decoding, along with metadata, allowing FFv1 to be used for professional production.

 '''Expected results:''' FFv1 is able to encode and decode Bayer pixel ordering, both on the GPU and CPU implementations, with the necessary metadata information carried to permit accurate color reconstruction and flexibility when color grading and mastering.
