In X11, using YUVA8 I find the same playback efficiency of RGBA-Float.

Rendering

Starting from RGBA8:
1080p/422p/25fps : 27 fps
1440p/422p/25fps : 24 fps

Starting from YUVA8:
1080p/422p/25fps : 21 fps

according to this page nasm OR yasm can be used (for compiling x86 assembly parts), so may be older distros still get full-speed encoder...
