The stride can be anything. That's up to you when you pass a yuv_buffer 
to the encoder, and up to the decoder when you get one back from it.

Yes, it does that when post processing is off to avoid a redundant copy 
(assuming you want your rows in top-to-bottom order, anyway)

Just write your code to add the stride to the row pointer every time you 
advance and it should work fine.
