Hello, I am trying to do a conversion of a file format. I know that it is in YUV 420 Planar format, but I need to convert it RGB. I know there are all these formulas and algorithms out there, but I do not know how to derive the exact R, G, or B from each pixel. Or if that is even possible. Can anyone guide me in the right direction??
Thanks,
Chris
Did you try using google? This page comes up as the first one:

VirtualDub is open source project that has all these possible conversions from format to format. You can download the code and look for the function you need

Mats, yes I searched and I have been to that website. I would be able to follow those formulas but I cannot extract my Y, U, and V so I wouldn't be able to satisfy those formula requirements.
I am looking into VirtualDub which should be what I need, thank you.
Well after looking at the VirtualDub requirements I cannot use it. I am on a Linux machine and do not have Visual Studio 2005...
I am also trying to do this in C.
I can't tell you how to extract the data, but this may help a bit:

For doing any work like this, you'd obviously need to know the file-format of the input file you are using, but often it says something like "this block is stored in XYZ format", and then you need to understand how XYZ works.
