YUV 4:2:0

concept 2 connections

Pixel format that should be used for web video because all browsers support it. Other pixel formats (e.g. YUV 4:2:2 produced by Apple QuickTime on some hand cameras) may play in Chrome and one of Firefox/Safari but produce a silent black screen in the other, with no diagnostic. Forcing ffmpeg to output YUV 4:2:0 avoids this class of bug.
