[FFmpeg-user] Transcoding (dvvideo -> libx264) --> not video, only gray

[Iban Garcia]

Many Thanks, Carl. " -pix_fmt yuv420p " worked for me.
But, I have been testing a little bit more now... and... I know what was
the problem... "VLC player" version.

With my old VLC version... yuv420p was played correctly, but not yuv422p.
With my new VLC version... BOTH of them are viewed correctly.

My new VLC player version is: 2.0.1

Many thanks!!!
