because i can't overlay and blend multiple videos at high resolution.
"overlays" of osd's and underlays etc. won't be limited to yuv 422 etc. i
can get full argb32 overlays and ui elements mixed with video, blending etc.

this way video is just a normal piece of gfx with no bizarr-o colorkeyed
overlays and limitations. they slide into a complex display pipeline seamlessly
without arbitrary limits :)
