So I guess i won't get the opportunity to work on video scaling next, 
hehe.  Well excellent, you got that covered.  We probably might want to 
think about how the two modules can work together, it appears that the 
capabilites are tightly coupled in the postproc module.  If you have 
any ideas shoot them at me.  I've been playing with someother formats 
currently not supported by my patch and just added them in and realized 
that the current structure is a maintenance nightmare.  So I'm thinking 
about how to best structure the core algorithm so that we can reuse it 
with multiple output and input formats a bit better.
