Oh, and please keep discussions on the list (assuming they're not
confidential).  Replying only to me directly runs the risk of me not
getting around to answering mail for weeks.

Specifically, it only parses 'YUV4MPEG2' style streams, a popular
format for unix video manipulation tools.  The libtheora video
submission call wants raw YUV in 4:2:0 format.

No, you need to convert your video input to YUV for the input.  Theora
internally natively represents video in YUV.  At some point,
somewhere, there needs to be a conversion to YUV.
