directly to an encoder.

- target = file to copy metadata into
Will read metadata from the json file, then update the target file with that metadata.
If you have a video that you know is HDR, but this tool fails to parse the metadata, please create an issue. If you can include a link to the video, that's extremely helpful. If not, please post the full CLI output from both mkvinfo and mediainfo for the file.
