i was trying to avoid breaking things by favoring not writing it
as is done in git currently.
But maybe iam too carefull here, do you think we can safely write
0xFF always ? (which could happen if the user does not provide any
information about the chroma location or pixel format

or should this be tested with some applications? if so with what
applications ?

the avchroma locations are explained by the ascii art above the enum:
 *  X   X      3 4 X      X are luma samples,
 *             1 2        1-6 are possible chroma positions
 *  X   X      5 6 X      0 is undefined/unknown position

and from this the english directions are exactly where the chroma
samples are located, this also matches how H264 defines chroma
locations.
mapping it to the mxf descriptions isnt all that easy, IMHO because
the mxf descriptions are rather bad

the if implies 4:2:0
