And pushed, thank you!

I have to admit I'm not entirely sure what you need to put in the application (I haven't done this bit before, so I'm also reading what the GSoC site says).  Can anyone else give some guidance here about how it has worked in the past in FFmpeg?

Current scaling and colour conversion code is mostly found in libswscale, though there are also other places like the colorspace filter.  I don't know whether any of these will translate suitably to GPU code and what the right approach is here - some investigation will be required.
