Converting YUV file format

Hello Everyone

I'm having problems with YUV file format.

I would like to convert a YUV format into greyscale (the Y value) images of each frame.

Once I've got the greyscale image, i can turn it into an array, and then implement various algorithms on it.

I've tried using YUVtools and other software out there, however they have problems reading the header of YUV files.

Please any help, or advice on how to process image sequences would be much appreciated

Thanks Opulence

This does not appear to be a programming question. You don't specify a language, and you seem to be talking about using external programs to try to read these files. If you're coding, as the bit about arrays seems to imply, you should find a library for YUV files, or read the file format on the web, and write some code to extract it.
