Thanks.  Actually, my problem right now is not with RTP at all, it's 
with how to access the picture frames to implement the codec.  I was 
wanting to know the "best" way to go about tinkering with the video.  My 
thought was to take the MPEG2 sources and modify those, but perhaps 
there is a better way?  That's why I laid out the simple goal of 
modifying the Y plane.  Once I get there, I am confident that the rest 
will be fairly straightforward.
