xfade produces invalid video files

Description

Summary of the bug:
The xfade filter consistently produces video files that are not universally playable, I've tried it with several different input videos and output formats with the same result each time.

Windows 10 Explorer doesn't show a thumbnail for the result file, and Windows Media Player simply shows a black screen when the output file is loaded; no video, no audio. The output video does play correctly in VLC 3.0.17.

How to reproduce:

% ffmpeg.exe -report -i aqua.mp4 -i fox.mp4 -filter_complex xfade=duration=1:offset=4 xfadetest.mp4
ffmpeg version N-108931-g4dda3b1653-20221104
built with gcc 12.2.0 (crosstool-NG 1.25.0.90_cf9beb1)

Files are valid.

Your players are not supporting all features.

Use format=yuv420p as last filter in chain for obsolete and ugly players.

format=yuv420p doesn't seem to make it work with WMP, but I did get it to work by using -vcodec mpeg4
