The current -vo yuv4mpeg is part of mplayer, not mencoder. I can't use
any feature of mencoder and output in y4m.
Here are some of my reasons for creating the mencoder muxer:
- Filters don't work correctly
- Only YV12 colorspace supported
- Automatic colorspace conversions break losslessness of y4m
- Doesn't write colorspace information
- Doesn't support pixel aspect ratios
- Subject to frame droppings as it is part of a player
- Only output to file, not to a pipe
- Annoyingly will open a dummy window if scripted, since it's part of a
player
Apparently the vo-code has other qualities, like outputting subtitled
frames. It serves a different purpouse.
It's doing what I want; I'm simply offering it to you so I won't have
to re-patch my mencoder everytime I update it.
