Your suggestion was the following, right?

There's nothing wrong with it! :)

...but I still have to find out which files are interpreted as 
"yuvj420p" by ffmpeg - and then fish them out and treat them with a 
separate command, since I have batches with and without color_range set, 
therefore "-pix_fmt +" throws a (correct) error when trying to convert 
to FFV1 :)

That's where I'm stuck :(


Thanks again!
