If I understand the source correctly the table at [1] is the brain of 
the conversion. MJPEG has a rank of 7, YUYV has a rank of 5. So YUYV is 
chosen. The function that picks the conversion path is at [2].

Currently there is no way to influence the decision. Why do you want to 
do this?

Thanks,
Gregor
