cannot open MPEG2VIDEO codec : YUV420 versus YUV420P.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Code snapshot:
        IContainerParameters parameters = IContainerParameters.make();
        parameters.setVideoHeight(height);
        parameters.setVideoWidth(width);
        parameters.setPixelFormat(IPixelFormat.Type.YUV420P);
        container.setParameters(parameters);

        container.open(url, IContainer.Type.WRITE, format, true, false);
        video = container.addNewStream(0);

        videoCoder = video.getStreamCoder();
        videoCoder.setCodec(ID.CODEC_ID_MPEG2VIDEO);
        ICodec codec = videoCoder.getCodec();
        boolean can = codec.canEncode();
        IRational timebase = IRational.make(1, 25);
        videoCoder.setTimeBase(timebase);
        videoCoder.setWidth(width);
        videoCoder.setHeight(height);
        videoCoder.getPixelType();
        videoCoder.open();
        container.writeHeader();

I digged a little bit. YUV420 is the same as YUV420P
it is ffmpeg avcodec_open that is returning an error.

I found the issue. I have to set the pixelType of the coder. 
This solved the problem:
videoCoder.setPixelType(Type.YUV420P);
