[Theora-dev] yuv2rgb

[lluis]

thank's all for this value informations ... i'm reading a lot now ;=) 

however my problem is that i don't understand how to get the numeric values 
from the yuv_buffer ::

typedef struct {
    int   y_width;
    int   y_height;
    int   y_stride;

    int   uv_width;
    int   uv_height;
    int   uv_stride;
    char *y;
    char *u;
    char *v;

} yuv_buffer;

for example i supose that in the "y" char pointer we have 1 byte foreach 
pixel ... correct? 

so ...

  char value;
  int x,y;
  int lumi[320][240];
   for(y=0;y<240;y++) {
            for(x=0;x<320;x++) {
              value = *yuv.y++;
              p = value;
              lumi[x][y]=p;
            }
  }

this will take me an integer array for all the luminance values for each 
pixel ....

but don't works ... 
what's wrong in my aproach? 

thanks
