    It seems that "yuv4mpeg" is some kind of raw formats, but what
    about "mjpeg" (motion jpeg) in avi files? I've found that only
ffmpeg-based plugins can play it then...
the 2 4mpeg formats definetely are a patent problem,
Note, that "yuv4mpeg" is not "mpeg" itself, it is "for mpeg" (4mpeg). It is really a sequence of uncompressed YUV 4:2:0 images... IMHO it was designed to "prepare raw stream for mjpegtools".
mjpeg OTOH is fine.
Since it is just a sequence of jpeg images?
I don't know what the status as a container format is.
avi seems to be OK (already used in Core's dvgrab and Extras' xine-lib )


But to be sure, could anyone confirm these my assumptions? :)
