[Libav-user] change pixel format without scaling data ? // more3

[jim morgenstern]

I go YUV-RGB -YUV'.  
On output I see YUV' is messed up

8 bits in YUV gives 8 bits in RGB according to all  the equations.  

I find I have to right shift 8 bits of the RGB to get proper looking images
back out at YUV'.  Hence sws_scale is actually doing some scaling.  Even
though I did not request.  So how do I transform formats without invoking
some scaling?  Are you familiar with the modules that can point me to lines
of C code in a specific file where the scaling is happening ?

Jim,

What kind of grayscale alteration do you see? YUV color space has explicit
brightness component, while in RGB it is distributed between all three
components. That is, converting between these you inevitably apply math to
grayscale levels, though you should not get any significant difference going
beyond rounding to nearest integer.
