 It might be a good idea to set a default pixel format for h264 output
 video to yuv420p in order to make the output videos more compatible with
 nowadays media players. I believe it's not a bug to produce even yuv444p,
 but when people try to play the output in several other media players and
 fail, they will simply conclude that ffmpeg doesn't work, without
 involving too much into the reason why.

 So, my suggestion is to set some kind of default pixel format of h264
 (libx264) output video to yuv420p if not specified otherwise on the
 command line by the user.
