Screen flickers on Windows Vista when directdrawsink initializes #90

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

When the directdrawsink starts rendering video frames on windows Vista, the 
screen flickers, and the message appears in system tray, saying that windows 
has switched to the simplified color scheme.

That's an issue with directdraw on vista/win7+ due to aero. Disable aero and 
it'll go away. Otherwise, use dshowvideosink or d3dvideosink to avoid aero 
conflicts.
