Got it.

< http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma_subsampling#4:2:0 >

So the "n/4" is the correct. Both Y and V channels are only a quarter of the
image resolution. For every 2 luminance (Y) pixels there is only one U
value horizontally BUT ALSO vertically making the amount "1/4" of W*H in
2D plane.

=>              pout_planar_v = dst + 5 * n / 4;
