Again SoOffscreen Rnderer

[Christoph Hintermüller <hinzge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi
Again

I want to send the images genereated by the SoOffscreenRenderer to a separate
AVI/MPEG encoder process/thread

In order to do so I get the rendered image via getBuffer and put it onto a
common memory space. But for encoding  (optimal?) i do need further information 
about the output of the Offscreenrenderer:
the size of the output i do know but which color format the renderer uses for
rendering resulting in a certain ammount of bytes I do not know

Therefor my question
is the color format

eg 8/16(5:5:5)/16(5:6:5)/24/32  bytes

taken from the actual X screen or
is it allwas set to a specific value
and where can I get further information upont the content of the output of 
getBuffer ????

cu
Christoph
