Okay I think I have found the difference between YUV and YCrCb - see [1] YCbCr 4:2:2 (Redirected from YUV 4:2:2) FourCCs: YUY2, UYVY, YUV2 (Apple Component Video stored in MOV files) Samples: http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/V-codecs/YUV2/ (These FourCC names only reflect that the YCbCr of digital media is often falsely mixed up with analog PAL's YUV color space.) YCbCr 4:2:2 is a packed YCbCr format in which a pair of consecutive pixels is represented by 1 Y sample each but share a Cb sample and a Cr sample. This type of data may be packaged in a container format with a a FourCC of YUY2 which indicates the following byte formatting: [1] http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=YUV_4:2:2 Greets, -- Christian Gmeiner, MSc -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
