A note of caution: YUV is rather vague. What you need is YUV420P which 
is: HEIGHT lines of WIDTH bytes of luminance, followed by HEIGHT/2 lines 
of WIDTH/2 bytes of chrominance (I can never remember if its Cr or Cb), 
followed by the same for the other chrominance.

If your grabber doesnt support that format, you have to use another one 
then use img_convert.
