i give ffmpeg a simple task which is the following

ffmpeg -i test.avi -c:v rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p out.yuv

i try to play the video but it gives a black screen, even in a .yuv player. ffmpeg supposedly "running"

is there some human error that i am doing, or is it just a piece of shit encoder coded by incompetent people.

ffmpeg is doing exactly what you told it to do. You are outputting raw video. This has no header, so no info is there to tell the player about the video attributes. You have to provide the player the correct attributes.

Example using ffplay:

ffplay -f rawvideo -video_size 320x240 -framerate 30 -pixel_format yuv420p video.yuv

See the FFmpeg rawvideo demuxer documentation.
