Xiph.org Test Media
All video sequences are in the uncompressed YUV4MPEG format used by the mjpegtools project unless otherwise indicated. This is the format accepted by the Theora encoder tools. Some encoding parameters such as framerate that were missing from the raw data have been guessed or inferred, and may be incorrect.

注：可以用 mencoder 转为 yuv 4:2:0 的格式
E:\Software\MPlayer-p4-svn-29355>mencoder -ovc raw -vf format=i420 -of rawvideo
stefan_sif.y4m -o stefan_sif.yuv
转换后经过比较和源文件是一致的。
