I think all you would need to do is create a different QTSequence in
vout_macosx.c. At least I guessed that this should be possible, when I wrote
the very first incarnation of the quicktime vout module. But since I have no
DV-Camcorder or TV, I could never figure out a way to try this...

So, to anyone with DV Hardware.... This would be a very cool job to do ;-))
