ppmtoyuvsplit - convert a PPM image to 3 subsampled raw YUV files

       Copyright (C) 1993 by Andre Beck. (Andre_Beck@IRS.Inf.TU-Dresden.de)

       Based on ppmtoyuv.c

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       ppmtoyuvsplit  reads a PPM image as input.  Produces 3 raw files basename.Y, basename.U and basename.V as
       output.

       The output files are the subsampled raw YUV representation of the input PPM image,  as  required  by  the
       Stanford  MPEG codec.  The Y output file contains a byte for each pixel in the image, with the rows going
       from top to bottom and the columns within each row going left to right.  The U and  V  output  files  are
       arranged similarly, except that each byte represents a square of 4 pixels of the image.  The value is the
       arithmetic  mean of the value for each of those 4 pixels.  Hence, the Y file is 4 times the size of the U
       file or V file.

       The YUV values are scaled according to CCIR.601, as assumed by MPEG.
