MTV to UYVY conversion is the process of transforming image or video frame data stored in the MTV (a legacy/raw image capture/container variant) format into the UYVY (a packed YUV 4:2:2 chroma-subsampled pixel format) pixel layout. This conversion remaps color components and packing so frames originally encoded or stored as MTV can be played back or processed by systems and codecs that expect UYVY data.
