Question: Significance of yuv420p

vaage opened this issue · comments

In many of the ffmpeg commands format=yuv420p is used. What does this mean? Is it the input resolution? If so, why create 720p output from 420p input?

commented

Thats just ensuring that the color space is yuv4:2:0. its not changing the resolution.
