No, I just assumed that since the MD5s of the decoded ffv1 frames were
identical with that of the original mjpeg full-range material that I
used for the test, that it does work in some way but thinking about
it, you're right. Since I just replaced YUV420P with YUVJ420P this is
no proof it would work if both were supported. At first glance I don't
see anything in the spec either.
