I don't think that'll turn out right. To see why, consider a more
extreme case: GRB420P (planar RGB, but R and B are subsampled). While
you could turn that into something YUV420P-ish with linear math it won't
look the same as if you upsampled the R and B channels, forming planar
RGB which is then converted that to YUV420P. I think.

..

Actually, the more I think about it the more it seems it *is* possible.
Just work out the math for the combination of upsampling and YUV
conversion. It should all be linear.
