Why 512x512 I wonder.  If one was going to use textures for video, I'd
think one would want to use a smaller tile size.  I don't know.  There
can be good reasons for streaming textures for video, but usually it is
best to use glDrawPixels, and I can't think of any reasonable thing for
mplayer to do that would make streaming textures better.
