4:2:0 and 4:2:2 have a chroma plane with different resolution.
converting between planes of different resolution is what i called scaling.

yes, doing an operation in the encoder avoids a filter being inserted which
does that operation.
Thats true for every encoder and every filter.

Also replacing interpolation by a nearest neighbor implementation
is quite expectedly faster.

one problem is
the user can setup the scale filter with high quality in mind or with 
low quality and speed in mind.
But after this patch she always gets low quality because the low quality
convertion code is hardcoded in the encoder which pretends to support 420.
The outside code has no chance to know it shouldnt feed 420 if high quality
is wanted.

Also why should this be in one encoder and not be available to other
encoders supporting 4:2:2 input ?
A solution should work for all of them

Iam not sure what is the best solution but simply hardcoding this in
one encoder feels rather wrong

Thanks
