[FFmpeg-devel] Endianness of palette

[Mats Peterson]

 From libavutil/pixfmt.h:

* @note
  * AV_PIX_FMT_RGB32 is handled in an endian-specific manner. An RGBA
  * color is put together as:
  *  (A << 24) | (R << 16) | (G << 8) | B
  * This is stored as BGRA on little-endian CPU architectures and ARGB on
  * big-endian CPUs.


This is not quite true, and you said yourself that the palette isn't 
stored in a host-specific order, Michael, since one has to use AV_RL32() 
to get the palette entries correctly on a big-endian machine. Itt is 
stored BGRA, in that order, in memory, as far as I understand.
