        Hacking acceptance of other formats into yuvscaler would be a
        major undertaking and that's what I think it would take to avoid
        treating all 3 variants of 4:2:0 as being the same thing (which is
        100% wrong).

Allright, so you are basically saying that y4mscaler is a requirement for using MJPEGTools with PAL DV. I tried contacting the author a while ago and asked if he would like to consider including y4mscaler into MJPEG Tools. Unfortunately I did not receive any response. Inclusion in MJPEG Tools would make y4mscaler ( and working with PAL DV in general ) accessible to all Linux users out there. I'd love to see that happen.

        Dealing with PALDV (PAL just _had_ to make life complicated by not
        using 4:1:1 like NTSC) is a strange beast - not sure how to fix the
        problem short of reinventing y4mscaler into yuvscaler.

Yes, that is messy. Just don't claim that NTSC is anything more clean than PAL is. We PAL guys would NEVER mix progressive, interlaced and telecined video into a single MPEG2 stream. NTSC just _had_ to make life complicated by not using (near-)FILM frame rates... ;)

Cheers,

Dik
