+V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU420M
+Variation of ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV420`` and ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU420`` with
+planes non contiguous in memory.
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+This is a multi-planar format, as opposed to a packed format. The three
+components are separated into three sub-images or planes.
+
+The Y plane is first. The Y plane has one byte per pixel. For
+``V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV420M`` the Cb data constitutes the second plane which
+is half the width and half the height of the Y plane (and of the image).
+Each Cb belongs to four pixels, a two-by-two square of the image. For
+example, Cb\ :sub:`0` belongs to Y'\ :sub:`00`, Y'\ :sub:`01`,
+Y'\ :sub:`10`, and Y'\ :sub:`11`. The Cr data, just like the Cb plane,
+is in the third plane.
+
+``V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU420M`` is the same except the Cr data is stored in the
+second plane and the Cb data in the third plane.
+
+If the Y plane has pad bytes after each row, then the Cb and Cr planes
+have half as many pad bytes after their rows. In other words, two Cx
+rows (including padding) is exactly as long as one Y row (including
+padding).
+
+``V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV420M`` and ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU420M`` are intended to be
+used only in drivers and applications that support the multi-planar API,
+described in :ref:`planar-apis`.
+
+**Byte Order.**
+Each cell is one byte.
