Error is -1. I'm sure this is due to the pixel format being unsupported as
you mention.

Sorry, I should have clarified that. The packing is different, and doesn't
work with my code. It is different from YUV422P16 so I'd like to get it
working in that format so I don't have to rewrite my packing code. This all
worked before the ffmpeg/libav split and now only works with libav. I
believe the first go at supporting v210 in ffmpeg was with YUV422P16, which
is why my code expects frames in that format.


AVCodec->pix_fmts tells you which pix fmt the encoder support.

Yeah, but this is listed as a deprecated format in pixfmt.h. If it's
deprecated, what's supposed to replace it?

I wouldn't mind rewriting my code to support PIX_FMT_YUV422P10LE, but I
don't want to waste my time if support is going to be dropped at some point.
