Neverless streamer can write the format and it is accepted by the
mjpegtools. Note that there are two versions of the yuv4mpeg format,
one used by mjpegtools < 1.6.0 and one used by versions >= 1.6.0.
Recent streamer versions (>= 3.73) can write both:
$ streamer -h | grep 4mpeg
4mpeg yuv4mpeg (mpeg2enc >= 1.6) [yuv]
4mpeg-o yuv4mpeg (old mpeg2enc) [yuv]
Mixing old streamer + new mjpegtools doesn't work, when mixing new
streamer + old mjpegtools you have to use "-f 4mpeg-o" to tell streamer
to write the old format because it defaults to the new one. The other
two combinations should work out-of-the-box.
