[Interest] Converting CVImageBufferRef into QImage

[Jason H]

Just how invalid are we talking?
It's well-known that the blue/red channels may be swapped, and I've seen padding on the row.
Doing your math though you're only reporting 2 bytes per pixel, which is very wrong. What is the image format you expect?
