It's the same using ffmpeg directly, but there's probably nothing wrong
with the rgb -> yuv420p and using the flags below for this conversion
does not affect the outcome.

A more interesting test would be to find something else that can make
yuv420p from rgb.

So yuviewer does the same yuv -> rgb scale as ffmpeg in default mode.

Playing your .yuv looks fine with ffplay and mplayer + three different
ways of using my gpu to scale/csc.

It's likely that anyone playing your yuv with a normal player that will
choose h/w to scale/csc won't see the issue.

Due to the height being >=720 some code may assume it's 709 rather than
601 colourspace, but that's nothing to do with this issue.

ffmpeg -s 1024x768 -pix_fmt yuv420p -i P0001.yuv P0001-noopt.png

Will show the artifacts you see

ffmpeg -s 1024x768 -pix_fmt yuv420p -i P0001.yuv -sws_flags

Doesn't produce them, so it looks like the yuv its self is sound, but
the accuracy of yuviewer/ffmpeg default is the issue when converting
back to rgb.
