Well, Paul, you're the expert. Are those two correct? If they are, then I'm 
right about
how the tokens work and the folks at wikipedia are wrong. I don't care whether 
the
wikipedia folks are right or wrong because I don't pay wikipedia any mind 
because I
think wikipedia is a train wreck. I want to be right because I want to be 
knowledgeable
so I can help myself and so I can help other people.

Not that you were on any hook, Paul, but I'm letting you off the hook. Of course you don't know whether my 4:4:1 and-or 4:2:1 are correct because you don't have any experience with such odd subsample formats. But I think I know how to get an answer.

If you or anyone has a pro authoring tool and can create a video, any video, maybe 2 or 3 seconds, with 4:2:1 subsampling, I'll examine it and find out what's what.

It's me versus wikipedia. I think I'm right about how to interpret subsample format. There's two reasons why I think I'm right. 1, I have a solution but wikipedia doesn't -- they say "except in rare irregular cases like 4:4:1 and 4:2:1, which do not follow this [their] convention". And 2, my solution works as well as theirs for the other subsample formats.

So, what do you say? Can you or anyone make such a 2 or 3 second video and send 
it to me?

--Mark.
