Transcode Videos in Azure to AVI container (YUV420 format)

Question

We have a requirement to transcode videos to the below format:

• Standard AVI container
• Video file in YUV420 format, min 15FPS
• Uncompressed PCM audio (if available)
• 4:3 or 16:9 with square pixel ratio (320x240 or 640x480 recommended)
• No borders -or- black-strip borders

On Media Encoder documentation we did not find output support for AVI container (or YUV420 format). https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/media-services/media-services-media-encoder-standard-formats

We wanted to confirm if there is any way to use Azure for this transcoding need?
