Nils,

 ( I must admit I'm sometimes confused with so many yuv formats, but I
believe YUV422 can't be YV12,  and YV12 is a kind of YUV420).

Well, even though YV12 came around in this thread by an output from
mplayer, libtheora really doesn't seem to care much about so many YUV
formats, and in the Theora specification and  libtheora code we
usually find YUV 420, 444 or 422. If this is a call for everybody (and
not only the theora community) stop using that terminology, in my
opinion it's impossible, because sometimes it's really necessary to
differ subformats for an YUV422 or YUV420 format being a group of
subformats and not determining how the data is stored.
