Well thats the thing about raw codecs, if you use the types that are 
supported by hardware and/or other codecs, you don't have to do anything 
except copy the memory.  When you start using things that no hardware 
generates, or can display directly, that's when you have to write code to 
convert.

All i'm saying, is there are certain types that are defined, hardware can 
display them, hardware like cameras generate them.

Zen.
