Veejay processing
=================
Veejay processes nativly in YUV, this is to keep colorspace conversions
to a minimum.
YUV 4:2:0 Planar ( 1 Cr and 1 Cb sample per 2x2 Y samples)
YUV 4:2:2 Planar ( 1 Cr and 1 Cr sample per 1x2 Y samples)
(both full range JPEG and clipped to 16-235 / 16-240)
Places where veejay uses software conversion:
Conversion from RGB to YUV is for webcam devices.
Conversion from YUV to RGB is for preview image
Some FX convert the frame to RGB
Why YUV ?
=========
- Many video codecs decode into some YUV flavour
- Many capture devices deliver YUV
- Software conversion of RGB <-> YUV was expensive
- Consumes less memory bandwith then RGB
