Just add e.g. -vf format=YV12 (at least in theory, but even if that does
not worka special option can be added, e.g. -vo vdpau:noaccel).
Cleaning up vd_ffmpeg so this actually works will be more of an issue
(it sets a lot of stuff like
        avctx->flags|= CODEC_FLAG_EMU_EDGE;//do i need that??!!
        avctx->slice_flags=SLICE_FLAG_CODED_ORDER|SLICE_FLAG_ALLOW_FIELD;
that I suspect are either unnecessary or are a sign of a not
thought-through design and should be moved to libavcodec, but at
least they must be moved to some other place).
