MAME can output YUV surfaces to the OSD layer for possible hardware conversion, but it requires that *all* of the game's graphics be YUV and I'm not sure if it's possible for a driver to specify at the moment. Modern GPUs actually have dropped dedicated YUV conversion hardware, by the way. The modern method is to use a pixel shader, although neither OSD layer does so at the moment. (I'm hoping to get SDL OSD doing it soon, as it will be a decent speedup for laserdisc games).

No, and you need to be *very* careful here. Only MPEG-1 video with layer 1 or 2 audio is now free from patents (and the devs are likely to be nervous about even that). You must not include layer 3 audio decoding (aka MP3 audio, which is patented until at least 2016).
