Do you mean adding swscale functions calls inside libavcodec/raw.c ?
If yes, I would have to look how I can do this to fit my needs as in my
project I don't include libswscale (and I guess others too) so I was
thinking to put the generic convert function in a seperate file under the
libswscale realm with only dependencies on .h of libswscale so libavcodec
can still compile without libswscale easily (instead of including "swscale.h"
in raw.c, you would include this "newfunc.h" and include that newfunc.o in
the project. Although libswscale has a nice value my guess was to keep
libavcodec free (or almost free) of libswscale dependencies.

What I'm thinking to write will just take weird/silly pixel format and place
them in one of the well-known pixel format (YUV420P, YUV422, YUV422_16BIT),
i.e., it will not convert YUV422 to YUV420 or stuff like that. Let me know!


the only convertion which i would accept is to 16bit per component YUV422

Ok, I'm keeping this as a backup solution if A doesn't work for me.

Thanks,
