 Replying to [comment:5 cehoyos]:

 "-color_range 2" is supposed to be fullrange according to the help (it
 actually is according to the renderer just with wrong colors) No-one told
 me that I should use yuvj444p instead of yuv444p, and it was virtually
 impossible to figure out from the ffmpeg help and googling
 wasn't fruitful. Sorry.
 Thanks for the tip again. I get proper video now, albeit with a warning:
 "[swscaler @ 0400f260] deprecated pixel format used, make sure you did set
 range correctly"

 I know. Mostly on doom9. At one point wrote at the ffmpeg irc but that was
 inactive.
