SUCCESS! Not a single "Unknown" and a nice "end of file" at the end of recordings made since upgrading to r3763. Big-Endian systems are good to go ENC and DEC-wise. And it seems that the problems plaguing SMP machines are no more (at least on PPC SMP machines :-). I can see a pattern emerging with these byteswaps. I will try to figure out what is wrong with the colors on the PPC FrameBuffer (hopefully it is something simple). Any hints on variables/functions that might determine the colors?
