Thanks!

Thanks again for the hint. For my tests I use different formats:
test[i++]="3-plane 8-bit  YUV-420:   -pix_fmt yuv420p"
test[i++]="3-plane 16-bit YUV-420:   -pix_fmt yuv420p16"
test[i++]="3-plane 16-bit YUV-444:   -pix_fmt yuv444p16"
test[i++]="1-plane 8-bit  Y-400:     -pix_fmt gray"
test[i++]="1-plane 16-bit Y-400:     -pix_fmt gray16"

test[i++]="4-plane 16-bit RGBA-444:  -pix_fmt rgba64"

What could be the expressions with "-f lavfi"?
