Guidelines for Linux4Linux pixel format 4CCs
|
||
|
============================================
|
||
|
|
||
|
Guidelines for Video4Linux 4CC codes defined using v4l2_fourcc() are
|
||
|
specified in this document. First of the characters defines the nature of
|
||
|
the pixel format, compression and colour space. The interpretation of the
|
||
|
other three characters depends on the first one.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Existing 4CCs may not obey these guidelines.
