The thought was to avoid unnecessary chroma conversions. The
source data is 4:1:1 (DV) and that's what the final result will
be - so going thru yuv4mpeg would mean a 4:1:1 -> 4:2:0 -> 4:1:1
roundtrip at least.
A stream option in -vo pnm would end up doing, I believe, a
4:1:1 -> RGB -> 4:1:1 which would be less damaging to the data.
