I guess because its decoding it as yuv not yvu

Its odd that ffmpeg can handle yvu, without exposing a specific pix_fmt
to match, even more so as yvu ordering is common in mpeg (which is
probably why your workaround worked...

Ahh so Carl added that in ffmpeg.c for sources in 6bca574a ....


and then later on it was re-added in a merge of 746dca483a2f in
2014/02/24 but into ffmpeg_opt.c

I wonder if that's where it all went wrong...
