I am currently developing an Android Application for Video-Streaming. Now i came to the point where I wanted to manipulate the stream. From the API I am using I have 6 methods available for each Frame I am capturing:
getDataY, getDataU, getDataV, getStrideY, getStrideU, getStrideV
but I have absolutely no idea what the data I get from these methods represents, I also didn't find anything on Google or Bing.
Can someone explaing what the data I get from theses methods represent?
