It wouldn't hurt to get the terminology right. Notice we are saying YUY2, not YUV2. YUV is the generic term we use for any color space that uses Y, U, and V samples. YUY2 uses 8-bit samples YUYVYUVY... I remember it by saying they replaced the V with a 2 in the name.

If your files use 10-bit samples, they can be truncated to 8-bit by dropping the two least significant bits.

I posted a thread today, asking how to write a filter that does not take a clip as the first argument. GetGenericFilter needs a clip as an argument and once I remove it, I don't know what to replace it with.

The filter we are talking about here would make a good simple example of how that can be done. I can't write a filter like this yet, could you show me how?
