OK, just read this in TRM. This means that when the sensor is YUV
4:2:2 (say, a ADV76xx :)) it will have to be converted to NV12 in
order to have it as input of the encoder...

OK, applying right now.

This seems really better, yes :).
Well, I come with another question : it seems to be limited in
framerate throughput ?
I get the same thing with the video capture, I can go up to 33 fps but no more.

When I use --stream-mmap=8 I have only two buffers used.
Is this the case for you in the encoder too ?
