Solution: Use ffplay or mpv instead of mplayer
When faced with rgb or yuv444 what the player does is somewhat dependent
on an individual uses system setup WRT hardware/libs.
The player may or may not subsample depending on this.
You also need a codec/container that handles rgb for best results.
Next problem that I'm noticing, are these odd artifacts in my
recording: http://s.natalian.org/2015-03-04/artifacts.png I'm not
sure what this phenomenon is called. Or how to avoid it. Does
anyone know?
Solution: "color space conversion" artifact. Solved by "Lossless
recording" from https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Capture/Desktop
FWIW converting rgb desktop to yuv444 is not lossless - you end up with
less colours and by default (IIRC) the black/white levels will be scaled
from pc to tv. This is good in a way as most players will expect yuv to
be tv levels and expand, but keeping rgb is the only truly lossless way
and this seems to be what I get with x11 grab by default.
