Hi, Maarten & Alex,
Through communicate with community guys on IRC (#xorg-devel channel), I
have got some info about how to calculate the DstPitch size.
I known the color data is split into chroma and luma channels, and the
chroma channel is only sampled half as often, the documents are
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YUV & http://fourcc.org/, so in common case, only
have half as much data in the UV (chroma) plane as in the Y (luma) plane. For
the I420 format, the image becomes much more compressible, it belong to the
planar formats, all the pixels of a particular channel are grouped into planes.
So the color channels are sampled at half the resolution to save space.
The total size of the source image is the size of the Y plane plus the
U and V planes. Y plane is full (w * h), U and V planes are half (w/2 * h/2)
each, so total is (w * h) + (w/2 * h/2) + (w/2 * h/2), Y+U+V.
Above is my summary.
Many thanks for you help. :)
Thanks,
Hunk Cui
