4:2:0 is the one, that has a subsampling of
factor two in both horizontal and vertical direction.

Note that the chroma samples are located half a pixel down
vertically in both versions, and half a pixel to the
right in the mpeg1 case.

IIRC the mpeg2/mpeg4 variant is the most used case.

The mail lists also an interlaced variant, but we
do not have to care about that unless we make a
hardware deinterlacer which we should not IMHO.


I have to reread the rest of your mail somewhen else,
when i'm a little bit more awake (probably this weekend).
