[MPlayer-dev-eng] An Idea - I cannot develop it. Scrap it if it is not any good.

I have developed something like this called vf_outbuf, which writes the
contents of the video to a shared memory buffer.  An external
application can handle the display portion of it, which is how it should
be in mencoder's case anyway.  Although I didn't build it for the type
of thing you're describing, it would be possible to use it that way.

It's sort of work-in-progress at the moment.  I hadn't planned on
posting it here for a while.  But if there's an interest I can whip
together a patch.

Cheers,
Jason.
