NTSC have the same vertical chroma resolution as luma, but one quarter
of the horizontal resolution, that's why I say that NTSC is 422, while
YV12 is 420.

Much of the content on TV is originally progressive, broken up to
interlaced fields, such as telecined movies or video from a 30fps
progressive camera.  For such content the progressive content should
be reconstructed, and normal progressive scaling should be used to get
yv12.  But if you have hard interlaced content, you have to do
interlaced scaling.  The TV card cannot figure this all out, the only
right thing to do is to capture in 422 and do some de-interlacing
before the yv12 conversion.
