heya,
...after seeing the posts about ImageVert, I realized I hadn't tried 
it, so I did...only to find it crash!  Well, now it works, but it's 
only RGBA right now...YUV on the way, which'll look different...;-)
...also made a major improvement in movie handling:  OSX users can 
finally use metro/counter without a speed hit (it used to slow down the 
longer a long movie played), plus we can now scrub back and forth 
within a movie (or even get random frames)!!
l8r,
jamie
