If you can spare that amount of RAM then grab YUV42? frames. More knowledgeable people, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that YUV420 for example takes WIDTH * HEIGHT * 1.5 bytes of memory; one PAL frame would be 768 * 576 * 1.5 = 663552 bytes. So if you have 192 megs of memory you will get: 201326592 / 663552 = about 300 frames.
