FFmpeg does not support float pix_fmt and at least some developers
believe that this wouldn't help anyway for expected input.

This is the point:
"Normal" video format is integer, so why would it help if you
input float?

RGBA64 comes to mind if your input is rgb.

If you want to input float into FFmpeg, you have to write exr
frames but note that they are converted to int before any
further processing.
