Using scaling like this is very inefficient. In order to get the
chroma nice enough to look good, you have to scale luma a lot! The
following will give you the exact same quality with much better speed:
-vf scale=-1:600,format=yuy2
In practice, just converting to yuy2 without any scaling should look
good enough.
