If that format would be supported by ffdshow, the MPC-HC decoders and mine, there would already be pretty good coverage.

I was refering to the fact that decoders telling the renderers all info about the source so they can do proper, non-guessed YCbCr->RGB conversions would be fantastic, but there's no way of doing that right now without custom hacky stuff, and it'd only be supported by open source decoders and a closed source renderer. No future there I'm afraid.
Yes, it's a proper solution, but since it's unsupported by the DS ecosystem I consider it a hack. Keep in mind that joe average uses WMP and the like, and W7 already comes with decoders for all the important formats, no need for MPC-HC/ffdshow/LAV in there unfortunately. Getting this widely used would be extremely difficult.
