Hi
 
There are sample Luma/Chroma images on the exr repository on the exr project 
website; shows exactly what happens.
http://www.openexr.com/downloads.html
 
Generaly speaking: Nuke doesn't support Luma/Chroma encoded exr files. But 
problem is more complicated...
Exr libraries provide 2 ways to import/export exr files: can say "simplified" 
and "complex". Nuke uses "complex" way (IlmInputFile Class) because this gives 
ability to support multilayered files. But IlmInputFile Class doesn't support 
Luma/Chroma encoding (as far as I know). Simple way (IlmRgbaInputFile Class) 
support Luma/Chroma encoding but not support multilayer.
So... the exrReader and Writer should be modified just to support this little 
useful feature.
 
In my opinion chroma subsampled exr files are completely out of the "exr 
workflow advantages". Currently when you render your composition to exr 
sequence you know that you have full quality "base". From this base you can 
export whatever  format you want: quicktime, mxf, avi, DPX seq or DCP. But what 
is advantage of Chroma subsampled exr files?? When you render it out and than 
you find that everything is ok.. you need to render it again in full quality. 
It waste of time. If you need proxy render you could use jpg sequence.
 
But that is only my personal opinion ;-)

You should send a sample file if you could to [email protected].  Even 
if it is an example checkerboard.  Just something showing the error.

Thanks for the reply Seth. 
 
I just compressed some test images to OpenEXR B44 4:2:0 using rvio (which is 
fantastic btw), and when trying to read these images into Nuke, I get the same 
error as with images compressed using ProEXR from After Effects CS5.5. 
 
I have tried reading 4:2:0 yryby EXR in both Nuke 6.3v6 and 6.2v6, and it gives 
the same "not compatible with the frame buffer's subsampling factors" error. 
 
It seems like Nuke does not handle chroma subsampled EXR files properly? Is 
this a bug? Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Hey Jed,
For what it's worth, RVIO can also render B44 and B44A images.
rvio -help will print out some examples. The Exr examples are:
Quote:
OpenEXR 16 Bit Out: rvio in.#.dpx -outhalf -o out.#.exr
OpenEXR to 8 Bit: rvio in.#.exr -out8 -o out.#.tif
OpenEXR B44 4:2:0: rvio in.#.exr -outhalf -yryby 1 2 2 -codec B44 -o out.#.exr
OpenEXR B44A 4:2:0: rvio in.#.exr -outhalf -yrybya 1 2 2 1 -codec B44A -o 
out.#.exr
ACES from PD DPX: rvio in.#.dpx -inlog -outhalf -outaces out.#.aces
ACES from JPEG: rvio in.#.jpg -insrgb -outhalf -outaces out.#.aces
Cheers,
Seth
