Please post text rather than screenshots.

The first error is because ffmpeg doesn't know what muxer it should
use for a .raw file.

The second is because the input file ends prematurely, there was not
enough data to read (another) frame.  Only 2.5M was read whereas 4M is
needed.  Check that the input really is yuv422p10 and 1280x800
(1280*800*2*2 bytes).  The 2,560,000 (1280*800*10/8*2) suggests you
have 10-bit words.  yuv422p10 is not packed, it has 16bit words.

Because there isn't even 1 frame decoded there is also the warning
that the output file is empty.
