   Ok, forget that :-) I just checked the old BeOS code for vlc, it was
using B_YCbCr422 and the conversion routines do exactly the same as the
ones that are currently in i420_yuy2.c.

   So, if the old BeOS was correct, you should use a B_YCbCr422 window
and tell the video output it's a FOURCC_UYVY picture.
