well, the GL_BGRA_EXT is there for a good reason: because "normally" 
(this is: most (but not all) devices i tested, revert blue and red so we 
are using BGRA instead of RGBA (which i would have expected to be the 
same as VIDEO_PALETTE_RGB32)

probably i should read the documentation or pdp's code.

maybe the problem is really hidden in the yuv2rgb conversion of the 
driver. (pushing it away from me...)
is the quality the same if you are using [colorspace YUV< (vs. 
[colorspace RGBA< ) ?


or use a higher resolution...
