[mythtv-users] Display YUV on RGB *without* remapping

[Cory Papenfuss]

 	Hey all... I've got yet another hair-brained scheme to get good 
tvout on the cheap.  I know that Xv is generally used to play video since 
MPEG data is YUV but the output is RGB.  Has anyone ever seen a driver 
setting/hack to send YUV data *directly* out the RGB?  Many cards can do 
sync-on-green, so with the Y data on the G channel and the other two on 
the R&B, one could get component video *directly* from a VGA card. 
Something like:

is all that would be necessary.

 	It'd be great if the 2D X driver would do such a thing as well, 
but video should be somewhat simpler since no transformation is necessary. 
Does Xv provide anything else besides color transformation and hardware 
scaling?

Food for thought...

-Cory
