YUV422 enc INPUT --> BGR24 dec OUTPUT ??

You are correct, we output BGR ordering. As XviD's colourspace routines were based on FourCC demands, they output RGB24/32 data as demanded by the FourCC code: I'm not sure how this works on other platforms, but since no *nix people have ever spoken up about it, I guess it's the same ordering for RGB video there as well. Or it's never been tried before.. mplayer seems to support both RGB and BGR orderings. -h

yes mplayer support also BGR because it has some routines to convert BGR24 --> RGB24. ...I have implemented this simple routine but obviously it adds a delay ~10-15ms on a PIII 1GHz (too high for a REALTIME app)... (i'm working on a open source piece of code that intend to acquire dv streams, convert them into MJPEG or XVID, send the stream over a network [mainly wireless] ...receive it and output the result to a DV converter D/A or the display it with a custom player) Christian
