Comment (by ulatekh):
Speaking as someone that doesn't know enough about video codecs etc. to
develop ffmpeg...I would prefer that ffmpeg refuse to produce something
that doesn't meet specs, and if asked to do so, ffmpeg should report an
error and then provide some hints as to what would meet specs.
For example, after chatting with others on the #ffmpeg IRC channel, I
eventually found three pixel formats that worked with raw video in a .mov
container -- rgb24, uyvy422, and rgb565. But ffmpeg would generate files
with other pixel formats, and then those files couldn't be decoded. This
is unhelpful and unproductive. I would prefer that ffmpeg be stricter
with the user's request, and in the above example, list what pixel formats
would have been allowed with raw video in a .mov container.
