Excuse my ignorance... but what is XVideo?

It only outputs RGB, yes, but in many different formats.

The AGG architecture is flexible enough to allow any kind of color
format. It's relatively easy to add a YUV pixel format. The tricky
part is implementing the matching blending and rendering algorithms
so. Not me, but some skilled AGG developer should be able to do this.

I think what you want to do *is* to create a new "GUI"..?
