Bluish tint to QuickTime preview/capture: solved

[Jeff Hardin]

Hi folks,

Chris Adamson on the QuickTime for Java list pointed out that this  
was a known problem. I added a fix for the byte order issue that  
causes the bluish tint problems, and will forward this on to Wayne  
Rasband.

Cheers,

Jeff
