[FFmpeg-user] deprecated pixel format used, make sure you did set range correctly

[Thomas Worth]

When using the yuvj420p pixel format, I get the following from ffmpeg:

"deprecated pixel format used, make sure you did set range correctly"

However, using yuv420p along with -color_range, as instructed by pixfmt.h:

AV_PIX_FMT_YUVJ420P,  ///< planar YUV 4:2:0, 12bpp, full scale (JPEG),
deprecated in favor of PIX_FMT_YUV420P and setting color_range

Changes absolutely nothing.

Of course, no ffmpeg email would be worth reading without the
complete, uncut console output so without further ado, here it is:

MacPro:test user$ ffmpeg -i my_awesome_movie.mov -an -vcodec libx264
-tune film -vb 12000k -pix_fmt yuv420p -color_range 0 -x264opts
