WOOPS again! not at all, i'm probably confusing it with PDP or with
something else! I recall also another plugin called VDSP (later
Pixonix) that had high restrictions on widths, but it never got ported
from jMax to Pd...

I was certainly not thinking about power-of-two sizes: i was talking about
(integer) multiples of certain small powers-of-two, only for alignment
issues.

Systems that use YUV422 and other macropixel schemes tend to either refuse
odd dimensions or pad them automatically because fractional pixels are
troublesome. (However YUV444 is not a macropixel system so basically it
behaves much more like regular RGB).

What does GEM do with odd-width YUV422 pixes ?
