[GnomeMeeting-list] A bugreport I received. Any comments on this?

[Sander Smeenk <ssmeenk freshdot net>]

Hey everyone (especially Damien :) ),

I received this 'bugreport' or better yet 'wishlist item' on my Debian
gnomemeeting package today:

Are there any plans to implement a software conversion routine to
support YUV420, or do I have to tell him we won't fix this problem?

Let me know,
Sander.
