Overview

I would like to use PyAV to decode raw .yuv videos with pixel format yuv422p16le. I am able to load yuv420p .mp4 videos but now raw yuv videos.
container = av.open(path_to_vid)

Expected behavior

Be able to load videos and extract frames

Actual behavior

.yuv videos cannot be loaded. With the same method I can load .mp4 videos

Traceback:

[Errno 22] Invalid argument: 'video.yuv' (16: IMGUTILS)

Investigation

Research

I have done the following:

• Checked the PyAV documentation
• Searched on Google
• Searched on Stack Overflow
• Looked through old GitHub issues
• Asked on PyAV Gitter
• ... and waited 72 hours for a response.
