Will do. Thanks for taking care of that.

Thanks for the tip!

I must admit, that I don't understand the "0" in RGB colorspaces (0RGB,
RGB0)...
I'm even more confused after reading the diff from Michael Niedermayer's
commit "pixfmt: Add 32bit rgb without alpha formats" [1] :)

Is this zero a "null" in the bitstream, or is it something else? And if
so, why is it needed, instead of just writing 24bits? I'd suspect
performance reasons?

I've tried to google "rgb0/0rgb", but that didn't really return anything
that looked related to colorspace encoding, so I'm assuming it's
ffmpeg-specific naming?

Sorry for asking sooooo many questions :)

Interesting to hear that.
What is necessary in order to support it?

Thanks a lot,
