Excellent ! I'm talking with a developer who integrated a MacOS 9 
OpenGL output into mpeg2dec, I don't yet if it can help.

That's what we're here for.

Just have a look at the SDL plug-in. It manages both overlay and 
non-overlay mode, and it will give you some hints. Basically, you 
only need to set b_need_render to 0. In vout_Display(), you have to 
picture to display in p_vout->p_rendered_pic, that's all you should 
need.

You need only one picture buffer (currently).

Yes.

Ha, this is sad. Having the decoder use non-planar modes is 
practically impossible, I guess you will need a conversion.
