These formats are not defined by this specification, they
are just listed for reference and to avoid naming conflicts. If you
want to register your own format, send an e-mail to the V4L mailing
list https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list for inclusion in the videodev.h
file. If you want to share your format with other developers add a
link to your documentation and send a copy to the maintainer of this
document, Michael Schimek <mschimek@gmx.at>, for
inclusion in this section. If you think your format should be listed
in a standard format section please make a proposal on the V4L mailing
list.
