@Flux:

For the second time in this thread - chroma subsampling is NOT a bad thing!! It's only a bad thing during post-production, where mathematical precision is necessary.

For final distribution encoding, even converting RGB to YV12 is perceptibly lossless, provided the proper process is followed to convert back to RGB (i.e. decent upsampling, correct matrix etc).
