Right, the BlendToBlack() function works as a post process on an ARGB
buffer so that it can be blitted without having to do a full composite
if the background is all black (used in the signal monitor patch, but
I was thinking of the ChromaKey OSD). It is basically a hack to get
around slow software composits that won't be a problem anymore with the
new UI stuff. BlendToChromaKey() would be the same, once the new
UI stuff is in we probably won't need it unless XVideo is somehow
incompatible with MythUI's OpenGL drawing methods.

Cool, the slowest thing in Andy's ChromaKey OSD is the yuv->argb
conversion, which we won't need anymore...

How is the MythUI stuff going? 

I've noticed you've made a lot of check-ins in the last few days...
