[FFmpeg-user] using -vtag on input files

first, since my rawvideo input is YV12 and there's no such pix_fmt, yuv420p
without vtag results with a blue-pink video output.
second, before vtag supported input files, i had to convert the file first
to avi with -vcodec copy, and then convert it to mpeg4 or something, which
takes forever.

i think this thread could shed some light on this matter (last message is
the most important i think):
