pixel_format would probably be a better name if it's _only_ intended
to encode the pixel format. I think Benjamin's intent, though, was to
encode a pair of "pixel format, colour space" in a single value.
That's why his suggestion has YCBCR_SD and YCBCR_HD - these have the
same pixel formats, but imply a different colour space.

That's my understanding anyway - hopefully Benjamin can clarify if I
got anything wrong there.
