ah, i  wondered why the outfmt didnt get set when yuvhack was enabled..
does that mean it does only YUY2?

note, this is both with UYVY!

its not that slow.. displaying highres divx with vo x11 does work more
or less ok
i.e. no demuxer problems


oh, and i just saw that the changes are applied to cvs but with a liitle
bug:

videocodec asv2
  info "ASUS V2"
  status buggy
- comment "pixelized image, upside down" 
+ comment "pixelized image" 
  fourcc ASV2
  driver vfw
  dll "asusasv2.dll"
-  out YVYU
+  out UYVY flip 

its UYVY not YVYU as stated in DOCS/CODECS.. and yes i did get confused
too with all these Us Y and Vs :)
oh and in vo_sdl are the additional IMGFMTS missing in the init
function:
instead of

       switch(format){
          case IMGFMT_YV12:
                sdl_format=SDL_YV12_OVERLAY;
                printf("SDL: Using YV12 image format\n");
          break;
          case IMGFMT_YUY2:
                sdl_format=SDL_YUY2_OVERLAY;
                printf("SDL: Using YUY2 image format\n");
          break;
          case IMGFMT_UYVY:
                sdl_format=SDL_UYVY_OVERLAY;
                printf("SDL: Using UYVY image format\n");
          break;
          default:
            printf("SDL: Unsupported image format (0x%X)\n",format);
            return -1;

i´d say something like:

        switch(format){
        case IMGFMT_YV12:
        case IMGFMT_I420:
        case IMGFMT_IYUV:
        case IMGFMT_YUY2:
        case IMGFMT_UYVY:
        case IMGFMT_YUY2:
        case IMGFMT_UYVY:
        case IMGFMT_YVYU:
            printf("SDL: Using 0x%X image format\n", format);
            sdl_format = format;
            break;
        default:
            printf("SDL: Unsupported image format (0x%X)\n",format);
            return -1;
        }

i missed that in my patch.
