About samples, I have some difficulties to get enough different samples 
(especially compatible with FFmpeg, some files I got are not readable as 
is by FFmpeg so effort would be more important than just updating FFmpeg 
on FFV1 side), and actually I now think that we should not change FFV1 
v3 (and below) much compared to other color_space (study of optimization 
would be done for v4, for both RGB and Bayer, in order to find common 
optimizations), so I changed of strategy and do very minimal additions 
to the bitstream, just what is needed for adding the green difference 
(replacing Alpha) to current RGB code.

I also have a running version of FFmpeg with FFV1 Bayer encoding and 
decoding.
