Sweet baby jesus!!! That's exactly what I'm looking for (I think). Does it mean, in the case of a 422 to 444 rescaling, that the "accurate lanczos" only "adds" the interpolated lines to the chroma channels and leaves the luma channel and the original chroma samples as-is? 

Because if it does, that's what I was trying to make sure, and if it doesn't, well, the quest goes on! And also, what DOES it mean? :D
