It also breaks some scripts (fate is an example as it requires changes) If the removial of that feature is intended, it should be argued somewhere that this feature is never usefull. To me as a lazy person it surely feels usefull to be able to ask for both "exactly rgb" as well as something close to rgb (like bgr or gbrp) without needing to know what each individual codec uses to return R,G,B thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Never trust a computer, one day, it may think you are the virus. -- Compn
