  out YUY2
  out BGR16

same error. i thought the output pin message meant that mplayer could not
find/connect to it? but i see where it requires the right colorspace to
accept it. is this output pin different on win32 mplayer? iirc someone said
mplayer uses native dshow loader instead of emulation. maybe i should stop
asking noob questions.

mphq2/incoming/CFDecode2.ax if anyone wants to test on linux. there is also
CFDecode.ax but i didnt see it in graphedit list. (and tried replacing
cfdecode2.ax with cfdecode.ax in codecs.conf, but got same pin problem.)

C:\Program Files\Common Files\CineForm>ls
CFDecode.ax        CFEncode.ax        CFTSSink.ax        CFVideoSource.ax
CFDecode2.ax       CFEncoder2.ax      CFTSSourcePush.ax
CFDemuxer.ax       CFSampleRate.ax    CFTempoChange.ax
CFDumper.ax        CFStrider.ax       CFVideoChange.ax
