We'll certainly need some change to VdpYCbCrFormat to handle the 10-bit luma
and chroma data that results from the decoding process. This won't fit into any
existing format without a pixel-packing hack.

We would also need new VdpRGBAFormat values for bit depths above 10.

Yes. Though, as I proposed separately, it may be cleaner to introduce bit depth
as a separate value from subsampling.

Thanks,
