[theora] converting YUV to RGB

[Mihai Balea]

Hello,

We're doing software yuv to rgb conversion in our project  
(iaxclient). Here's a link to the code, scroll down for the  
conversion part

http://iaxclient.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/iaxclient/branches/team/ 
mihai/iaxclient/lib/video.c?view=markup

I'm not saying this is the definitive way of doing it, it just work  
pretty well for us. You can reuse the code if LGPL license works for  
you.

I've seen some examples of doing the conversion in a fragment shader.  
If you know your code will run on a hardware that has fragment  
shaders, then by all means, do that. It will free up the cpu for  
other things.  GL_LUMINANCE8 textures will give you monochrome  
images, so it's not a good choice if you want full color video.
