[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] YUV support for vo_quartz, at last

Things have moved on since my last check, but maybe a reply will 
still be useful:

Start from developer.apple.com. There's a wealth of documentation, 
sample code and assorted resources for all Mac OS technologies and 
programming topics.

Regarding Carbon initialization, there really isn't much that you 
have to do. Carbon does most of its initialization automatically 
(sorry about the confusion - I did most of my Mac programming in the 
"old days" :) ), and the application only needs to run the event loop.
One thing to consider, however, is that some of the standard event 
handlers are not installed unless you call RunApplicationEventLoop(). 
vo_quartz can't call RAEL because of mplayer's design, so you'd have 
to do some extra work (eg install an event handler to process Apple 
Events). But since the interface is very bare-bones for now, this is 
not strictly necessary.
