Thank you for responding, wm4.  Let's use this from pixfmt.h header file as an example:

    PIX_FMT_YUV420P,   ///< planar YUV 4:2:0, 12bpp, (1 Cr & Cb sample per 2x2 Y samples)

Does that mean I should read in the luminance plane 2 bytes at a time and interpret it as a number together?  The reason I ask that is because the linesize of data[0] is twice as wide as data[1] or data[2] (720 vs 368 and 368, respectively).  Also the data point is declared as "uint8_t *", how does one determine how to interpret the type of the value - int, float, etc?

Thank you again!
