CL FORMAT YCbCr422DC and DM IMAGE PACKING CbYCrYYY

This section of the packings document described the 4:2:0 sampling pattern.

There are two libraries which can represent data in this format: the the DM (digital media library), via DM_IMAGE_PACKING_CbYCrYYY, and the CL (Compression Library), via CL_FORMAT_YCbCr422DC (DC stands for "Duplicate Chroma"). The CL representation looks exactly like a 4:2:2 packing, except that each pair of image lines has identical Cr,Cb values. An example:

Say we have an image which is 4 pixels wide and 2 pixels high:

   1   2   3   4   
   5   6   7   8

Encoding that with the 420 DM_IMAGE_PACKING_CbYCrYYY packing, I'd get

this in memory (increasing mem address):

   byte[ 0] = Cb(center of 1256) 
   byte[ 1] = Y(1) 
   byte[ 2] = Cr(center of 1256)
   byte[ 3] = Y(2) 
   byte[ 4] = Y(5)
   byte[ 5] = Y(6) 
   byte[ 6] = Cb(center of 3478) 
   byte[ 7] = Y(3) 
   byte[ 8] = Cr(center of 3478)
   byte[ 9] = Y(4) 
   byte[10] = Y(7)
   byte[11] = Y(8) 

With the CL_FORMAT_YCbCr422DC packing, what I get instead is this:

   byte[ 0] = Cb(center of 1256) 
   byte[ 1] = Y(1) 
   byte[ 2] = Cr(center of 1256)
   byte[ 3] = Y(2) 
   byte[ 4] = Cb(center of 3478) 
   byte[ 5] = Y(3) 
   byte[ 6] = Cr(center of 3478)
   byte[ 7] = Y(4) 
   byte[ 8] = Cb(center of 1256) AGAIN -- duplicate
   byte[ 9] = Y(5) 
   byte[10] = Cr(center of 1256) AGAIN -- duplicate
   byte[11] = Y(6) 
   byte[12] = Cb(center of 3478) AGAIN -- duplicate
   byte[13] = Y(7) 
   byte[14] = Cr(center of 3478) AGAIN -- duplicate
   byte[15] = Y(8) 

Say the image lines are numbered 0,1,2,3,4,.... If you are using CL_FORMAT_YCbCr422DC and the chroma on lines 0,2,4,6,... is not identical to that on lnies 1,3,5,7,..., then it is an error.
