[FFmpeg-user] ffmpeg-55ed91c and x264-d9d2288. Profile setting differs from output.

[Joseph Rosensweig]

Hey all,

   I assume I'm missing something really simple here.  But I'm not quite
sure what I'm doing wrong.  I checked out the ffmpeg and x264 git versions
indicated in my subject header.  I wanted to test out encoding H264 with
high, high10, high422, and high444 using libx264.  However when I try to
encode with anything above high, the output always just shows high rather
than say high 4:2:2.  Here are a few examples:

$ cat test.yuv | ffmpeg -f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -s 1280x720 -y -an -r
30 -i pipe:0 -vcodec libx264 -profile:v high -vframes 300 -r 30 test.mp4

Any help here :-)?
