yv12 codec
YV12 QuickTime Codec 1.0a2 probably won't be all that useful to anyone who isn't involved in developing image processing or compression/decompression software. YV12 is a planar Y'CbCr 4:2:0 image format, and is often used as an intermediate format by reference codecs such as the ISO/IEC MPEG-4 video decoder reference code. It's not a very good choice for end users, because it doesn't really compress video that much, and it stores pixel data in a manner that's not particularly convenient for playback. That said, you might find this codec useful if you're a developer working in image processing. As mentioned above, YV12 is a planar format, meaning that for each image, the luma data for all pixels is stored consecutively, followed by the chroma data - this method of accessing pixel components is convenient for many image processing techniques. yv12 codec's Home Page: << Back Other codecs: 3IV DIV3 DIVX DVSD DX50 GEOX IV50 M4S2 MJPG mp42 mp43 mpg4 TSCC WMV3 XVID yv12 |
