    FFMpeg can encode YUV to mp4(H.264) via libx264 encoder. But you have to specify exact YUV pixel format of your source video. There are several YUV formats.

    This command converts rawvideo with pixel format of yuv420p to a MPEG-4 or x264 format.

    # Converts the raw yuv420p data to a MPEG-4 video
ffmpeg -f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -video_size 1280x720 -framerate 25 -i 'in' -f mp4 'out'

    Below list shows YUV pixel formats can be decoded by ffmpeg.

    $ ffmpeg -pix_fmts 2>&1 | grep yuv
