Looks like your graphics card only support two YUV formats: YUY2 and Y211.
(for a detailed explanation on FOURCC formats:

MPEG videos usually use the YV12 format this is why the DirectX plugin 
couldn't create an overlay.
However we have a YV12 -> YUV2 conversion plugin so I should be able to 
modify the DirectX plugin to make use of it.

Thanks for your report, it's been really helpful.
