 I am not sure what that is a reference to? The encoder selection (and thus
 which `pix_fmt` is selected by default as the output of the video filter
 chain) is outside the scope of both:

 1. my changes to ffmpeg.c (to actually pass on information provided by the
 filter chain onwards), as well as
 2. the issue identified in the `scale` video filter in this ticket.

 Or would you say that f.ex. RGB→YCbCr conversion should still preserve the
 color space value of `gbr` in the output AVFrame? :) (which is only there
 due to there being a `av_frame_copy_props` call, which copies all the
 metadata from the input AVFrame - which is not filtered afterwards
 depending on whether it was just a scale job, or if the pix_fmt was
 changed, etc etc)

 To fix the `scale` filter bug there needs to be some logic added to not
 pass on input metadata as-is in case of a conversion that would nullify
 it, such as conversion from YCbCr to RGB or vice versa.
