But can I say I need this block of memory (ie an arbitrary block which 
already has data in it) to be shared.  I want to avoid having to copy 
large amounts of data.  If that can not be done Avisynth will need to be 
modified to allocate memory for its frames from a specific region of 
memory.

Just to be sure.  A normal Linux application CAN NOT load a winlib shared 
library.  Correct?

Also, how is the calling of Windows codec done in mplayer, xine, and the 
like?  Could something like that be done.  Avisynth has so GUI.
