It should be possible to add some ordered dither in some of the SIMD
converters with no speed effect. Our RGB15/16 output already applies dither
as it does make a vissible difference.
In C it could be done by unrolling the code, but yes i agree it has no
practical benefit for 24bit->24bit. Then again if someone wants it and
theres no speed loss and its cleanly implementd ...
iam not opposed to reviewing and applying a patch to swscale.

That btw leads to the question if the greeniness is from swscale or the
old converter? And if SWS_ACCURATE_RND was used?
