Different Video Formats?

[teoAlivanoglou]

Hello. I understand that currently you can only use BGR24 format. It would be great if you could expand to ABGR32 (or a different layout) and or any YUV format. Other than that, it's a great wrapper.

Edit: Is it possible to choose between Progressive and Interlaced?

Thank you for the suggestion.
I think it is possible technically.
Probably I would make a few new APIs to add this feature.

if possible, please add support to JPEG format also, great project btw ;)

I doubt it's possible (or at least viable). Even YUV is a bit of a stretch as you would need to write converters for these formats (as long as you want to stay dependency free).

These, however, should be much more realistic expectations:
