[Libav-user] How can i extract Y plane from any frame in video

[Amir Rouhi-Rmit]

The problem still exist in opening YUV generated files. All i do is as below
please follow and inform me why i cant view the yuv files.
1- i convert a video to yuv images (1 image per second) as below:
ffmpeg -i c:\test\animals.wmv -r 1 -f image2 -s 320x240 -pix_fmt yuvj420p
c:\test\Img-%03d.yuv
the size 320x240 is exactly the frame size of the source video.

2- I try to view the Img--.yuv files by Irfanview program/file/open as raw
file
and the parameters which i input in the open raw file page are:
image width: 320 Image height: 240
24BPP
YUV 420
File header size 0
Byte pattern start GR
Color Order RGB
Interleaved

But the result is a green image which top part of image is bright green and
bottom part is dark green !!!!!
Where is my mistake
