[FFmpeg-user] h264 (yuv420p) to ffv1: "Assertion s->bits_per_raw_sample >= 8 failed"

I've just received a request, regarding an error message when converting
from h264/PCM/MOV to FFV1/PCM/AVI.
The transcoding doesn't start and exits with the following error message:

[quote]
"Assertion s->bits_per_raw_sample >= 8 failed at
/home/kyle/software/ffmpeg/source/ffmpeg-git/libavcodec/ffv1enc.c:802"
[/quote]

The source is "yuv420p(tv, bt709)", which sounds like "8
bits_per_raw_sample" to me.

Couldn't figure out why this happens.
It's either a very obvious mistake on my side, or something going wrong.

Any ideas?


Thank you very much in advance,
Pb
