ITU-T Rec. H265 says: When equal to 0, no such upper bound is indicated
by max_content_light_level.

So, the meaning is the same as in CTA-861-G.

Yes, it is the same. Will document that in next version.

In Rec. H265 max_luminance is in the range of 50 000 to 100 000 000 and
units of 0.0001 cd/m2.

min_luminance - range of 1 to 50 000 and units of 0.0001 cd/m2.

I will update all these in next patchset version.
