Yes, I think so. I have looked into it a few months ago (the DScaler code, 
not what's in xinelib) and it wasn't trivial. I mean, one could convert it 
to C and all, but IMHO it would be better to write an avisynth and/or 
virualdub videofilter wrapper, so you get a whole bunch of filters all at 
once (like I did for ladspa, instead of porting an audio limiter filter).

Btw why isn't there something like ladspa for video? Lots of people are 
(re)creating and/or porting the same filters over and over again for 
numerous applications. IMHO there should be one API for the whole lot, from 
Adobe Premiere to Cinelerra to Kino to MPlayer.
