someone was having trouble encoding image sequences that he'd first run through exiftran with: exiftran -a -i -p *.jpg

whereas the same with the pics not run through exiftran gives:

I don't know exiftran and what it does to the image, but based on the different colorspace output by the video decoder I tried adding:
-vf scale,format=rgb24  or yuy2 or ....
just tries a few times and fails:

VDec: vo config request - 180 x 240 (preferred colorspace: Planar YV12)
[PP] Using external postprocessing filter, max q = 6.
Could not find matching colorspace - retrying with -vf scale...
Opening video filter: [scale]

I'm interested in finding out what's wrong,
workarounds.
