I'm pretty sure I prefer YUV over RGB. Values in YUV are
floats, that can be negative or large, it does not have
the simple bounds of [0, 1], with the exception of the Y
value, like you normally have with RGB. So my question is
how should a YUV value be encoded as an integer?

Floats are useful for rendering, so I think it would be
preferable for ffmpeg to support it as it would speed
up rending as it would eliminate some conversion.
