> I've seen that encore wants Y,U,V pixels in 16-bit (short int) format

>
> In the encoder it's easy to add these changes: I'm using (in my
> linux encoder) the 'flip' flag to do this.
> CUrrently flip==0 means normal RGB image, and flip==1 means flipped RGB.
> I've added flip==2 for YV12 planar 8bit/component image, and the
> other formats (YV12 16bit and YUY2) can be added as flip==3 and ==4.
>
> For the decoder just see the libdecore for linux, it has this feature.

> YUV i/o is very important, because most of the current hardware &
> software (I mean windows/DX, linux/Xv, mac, beos) can do YUV overlays,
> and most file converters/recompressors use YUV internally
> (because most input formats (huffyuv, mjpeg, mpegs etc) are already
