Well, it seemed obvious to me considering that we refer to a GUI... The idea is to dump the output in a shared buffer so that the video can be embed in a GUI. It's gotta be slower to write to a buffer than directly outputting to a the screen directly (so I think).

That is what I first misunderstood, too. IMO feel free to clarify this, that option is not supposed to be used by users, IMO it is just a way to do what -wid is used for everywhere else.

BTW, I'd be more than happy if vo_macosx could be fixed to comply to the behavior of other VOs. This doc patch is only meant to document a feature that has been around for months and hidden to joe-six-pack users.
