When I tested it a while back, I passed it as hex 0x.... but I don't think 
this matters. Are you sure you got the colorkeying right?
Try with -nocolorkey otherwise your window has to be painted in the same color
as the colorkey you can change it with the -colorkey option.

You didn't send a log therefore I'm assuming that vo directx preinit will fail 
because of the invalid window handle and vo gl2 gets selected instead.
