<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<p>This program is part of <a href="index.html">Netpbm</a>.
<p><b>ppmtoyuvsplit</b> reads a PPM image as input. Produces 3 raw
files <i>basename</i>.Y, <i>basename</i>.U and <i>basename.V</i> as
output.
<p>The output files are the subsampled raw YUV representation of the
input PPM image, as required by the Stanford MPEG codec. The Y output
file contains a byte for each pixel in the image, with the rows going
from top to bottom and the columns within each row going left to
right. The U and V output files are arranged similarly, except that
each byte represents a square of 4 pixels of the image. The value is
the arithmetic mean of the value for each of those 4 pixels. Hence, the
Y file is 4 times the size of the U file or V file.
<p>The YUV values are scaled according to CCIR.601, as assumed by
MPEG.
