   margin should be set to 1 if the physical picture is bigger than the
visible area. visible_bytes is the visible picture width, and hidden
should be set to 1 if the "non-visible" part of the picture can be
safely written to.

   For instance, if you have a 250 pixel-wide picture, and the operating
system pads lines to multiples of 16, it'll allocate a 256 pixel-wide
area, and you'll have the following values:

    i_pitch = 256
    b_margin = 1
    b_hidden = 1
    i_visible_bytes = 250

   Please not however that, as stated in the BUGS file, most chroma
transformation routines completely ignore margins, which may lead to
unexpected results.
