that may indeed be the case at this point in time.

all the cards seem to have that feature listed in their specs, but i 
have no idea how to tap into that using a common api/lib other than 
opengl.  i attempted to write a yuv->pix object but didn't have much 
success.  not sure what sort of performance hit that will be doing 
the conversion in software.  it could wipe out any speed gains of yuv 
processing.
