wow, will this mean we'll have mpeg output, etc. in addition to avi?
that'll be great, especially for people wanting to make vcd's and
stuff.

anyway, i guess i'll leave things as they are for now. let me know if
the hack i put in mencoder is ok as-is -- i just made it always add a
format filter converting to yv12 when the encoder is lavc or divx, and
force out_fmt to yv12. this seems to work fine for me.
