The order of U and V is rather arbitrary. For planar format it does not matter 
much to software. Each plane has its own pointer anyway.

So optimizing for hardware might actually make sense. Also YV12 is 
unambiguous. It means Y V U plane order in contiguous memory or Y V U plane 
order in the VLC picture_t table depending on the situation.

On the other hand, YVYU and VYUY are not very explicit names. I have not seen 
them used in real life. Most webcams and graphic adapters support YUY2 and 
UYVY instead.
