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.
