Generic YUV conversion (Visual Basic)

Generic YUV conversion provides the ability to convert any YUV format to any supported color space, using the YUV_PARAMS structure and adhering to the restrictions listed below. After defining the YUV format, you can proceed with the conversion normally, just like any other conversion. Use L_ClrConvert to perform the conversion and call L_ClrFree to free the conversion handle. Currently the conversion from any color space to Generic YUV is not supported.

Generic YUV conversion currently has the following restrictions:

1.

No sub-sampling of Y is supported

2.

The number of Y elements must be a multiple of both U, and V.

3.

With non-planar formats, vertical sub-sampling of Y, U, and V is not supported.

4.

No alignment supported in planar format; line width must not contain additional bytes.

5.

The horizontal subsampling periods of U, and V must be multiples of each other, and the vertical subsampling periods of U, and V must be multiples of each other.
