+ * GST_VIDEO_FORMATS_ALL:
+ *
+ * List of all video formats, for use in template caps strings.
+ *
+ * Formats are sorted by decreasing "quality", using these criteria by priority:
+ *   - number of components
+ *   - depth
+ *   - subsampling factor of the width
+ *   - subsampling factor of the height
+ *   - number of planes
+ *   - native endianness preferred
+ *   - pixel stride
+ *   - poffset
+ *   - prefer non-complex formats
+ *   - prefer YUV formats over RGB ones
+ *   - prefer I420 over YV12
+ *   - format name
