Bummer. I was afraid so. Doesn't the "experimental HDR" switch change that?

I'll look into this. If I do I would certainly provide the patches.
However, just looking into yuv.c I came to notice that it says in the
comment:

"  Read/Write Raw CCIR 601 4:1:1 or 4:2:2 Image Format  "

Wouldn't that be more appropriate to put 4:2:0 (VY12) into that?

Also, how does this project deal with patches?
