most definitely want AA. colorkeying is just awful. it reminds me of bluescreen
effects from the 1980's. :) we can do better. when video stops being some
special colorkeys overlay thing you open up a world of options you didn't have
before in being able to display it, manipulate it, etc. you don't have to live
with the u and v planes being 1/2 res for overlays so menus and other osd
elements on top look decent instead of nasty.
