  An alternative, I wrote a simple huffyuv-style compression codec for
Y'CbCr streams that you can download here:

  It's really simple, and I use the same code for chroma as for luma
(silly), but it gives good results and I was using it in a v4l recorder
app I've been writing (www.sf.net/projects/reetpvr).  It would be pretty
easy I bet to throw it in mplayer.  The code is straight C and only
depends on inttypes.h :)
