Comment (by ghjk987):
This option is mentioned in the ffmpeg documentation here:
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.264#Encodingfordumbplayers
It's been in use for this purpose since at least 2012, so people may have
become accustomed to the old behaviour, as I was. It's not about quality,
just multi platform compatibility, and using the recommended video format
to achieve that. I was always perfectly happy with not specifying any
pix_fmt and leaving it at yuvj422p but various people would complain they
couldn't play my videos when I emailed them to illustrate something!
yuv420p solved it, but I don't know what hw/sw they were using. But
perhaps the documentation needs updating instead, I shall leave that to
the ffmpeg developers to decide, your additional flag solves my problem,
thank you.
