ffmpeg can't decode uncompressed self-generated TIFFs containing YUV420

[Takis Issaris]

When generating a sequence of TIFF frames containing YUV420 data, feeding it to ffmpeg results in a errormessage: "Color mode 6 is not supported".

ffmpeg -i movie.mpg -compression_level 0 -pix_fmt yuv420p bla%05d.tiff

ffmpeg -i bla%05d.tiff test.mpg

out.tif looks fine with ImageMagick.
