Timestamp, flags, YUV, play VOB files

Bjorn,

I would like to prepare a complete proposat for the slow deinterlacer's API (I 
have nicknamed it Codein for 'combined deinterlacer'). But I need to have 
some things clear first. And you know them best, as they're about what the 
ogle code can provide.

What is the type for the timestamp? And, if the deinterlacer wants to lower 
the framerate (as often happens in the case of telecined content), should it 
perhaps modify the timestamps to space frames more evenly? Or is it better to 
just drop some frames and leave the timestamps on others intact?

What interlacing-related flags, originating from the MPEG2 source, can be 
provided? And are they set fcor every frame?

In the YUV model used in ogle, is every plane one-byte-per-pixel?

And, can ogle play an (unencrypted) VOB file? I don't think I have a telecined 
DVD at the moment, but I do have a telecined VOB or two.
