BTW, we had 2 1080i DVCPro HD Streams running to 2 rects with barely a frame dropped, with 3D transforms and all. Very.. very impressive..

You know I just figured out that the pixel packing for DVCPRO-HD is reversed from what we use in GEM. That causes a Quicktime routine to kick in which eats about 40% of my CPU here. It's only a change to two lines of code to get the proper format, but it would require all of the pix_objects to be rewritten!

So looks like I may have guessed wrong back in Fall of 2002 when picking pixel formats. Oh damn. This could be something CoreVideo would sort out.
