YUVTools is a specialized suite of utilities designed for video engineers, developers, and researchers to analyze, inspect, and manipulate uncompressed raw video sequences. Because raw YUV files lack headers, metadata, or structural containers, standard media players cannot open them without explicit manual parameters. Step 1: Open and Configure Raw Video
Before doing anything else, you must manually specify the exact structural attributes of your raw file, as it strictly contains raw pixel data.
Select Format: Launch the application and load your .yuv file. Select the matching Chroma Subsampling format (e.g., YUV 4:2:0 Planar, YUV 4:2:2 Packed, or YUV 4:4:4).
Define Dimensions: Input the precise pixel width and height (e.g., 1920x1080 or 1280x720).
Set Bit Depth: Choose the correct sequence depth, typically 8-bit or 10-bit per sample. Step 2: Inspect Pixels and Frames
Once the file displays correctly, you can deep-dive into standard visual inspection and technical analysis. Introduction to Elecard YUV Viewer
