Hello! just trying various codecs ... mov utvideo pix_fmt=yuv444p threads=2 this one works, if you add few more things into mplayer's codecs.conf (search for utvideo) videocodec ffutvideo info "FFmpeg Ut Video" status working fourcc ULRA,ULRG,ULY2,ULY0 fourcc ULH2,ULH0,UQY2 fourcc ULY4 driver ffmpeg dll utvideo out YV12,422P,444P,RGB24,RGB32 note, mplayer is picky about spaces, if I put 44P with space apart from 422P - it was complaing, try mplayer -codecs mplayer /dev/shm/utvideo.ff -vo x11 MPlayer SVN-r38152-5.5.0 (C) 2000-2019 MPlayer Team 224 audio & 466 video codecs Playing /dev/shm/utvideo.ff. libavformat version 58.33.100 (internal) libavformat file format detected.

Also, I think strange codec called v210 is still missing, I saw some speedups about it on ffmpeg-devel: http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2019-October/251788.html [FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v7] avcodec/v210dec: add the frame and slice threading support I see v410 and v308 in option files, probably v210 must be there as well? https://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php/V210 "The v210 format is a packed YUV 4:2:2 format with 10 bits per component." v308 Uncompressed packed 4:4:4 - from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FFmpeg also there is r210 Uncompressed RGB 10-bit I just cp'ed v308 and edited resulting files: cp v308.qt v210.qt cp v308.qt r210.qt cat v210.qt mov v210 cat r210.qt mov r210 but I haven't added pixel formats info .... r210 seems to demand gbrp10le and v210 accept yuv422p10le or yuv422p, so I think v210 should use yuv422p10le ?
