I don't know if these extensions are available on platforms other than
iR running 6.4, but there are a series of functions in libxsgivc.a that
probably do what you want.

I've tried using one called XSGILoadVideoFormatCombination() and had some
link troubles. The 'workaround' was to specify -lxsgivc ahead of the
X library in the link line. I seem to remember that it didn't resolve
all the problems the linker complained of though.
