The intention of making a video yuv420p is that it's multiplatform compatible whereas if it's left as the original yuvj422p it may not play on some Windows machines, you have to allow for non-Linux users sometimes. As for the compatibility of yuvj420p, I have no idea, but I was surprised to see that after I had specifically told it to make something as yuv420p it then decided to make yuvj420p instead, and it didn't seem to do this before.
