I didnt't explain myself well enough, I guess. I know of the various colour
palettes, but let's say if you have a card capable of compressing video in
H.261 already, you can't get it through pwlib/openh323 without decompression at
the driver (into whatever colour palette you'd like) and re-compression in
openh323. Not a bug as such, just a design decision.
