i do have the code for that, as i was playing with dxr3 support for vdr 
myself. However, it is not that easy! SPU's have only 4 colors and vdr's main 
menu needs more. I belive that the best way to go for the dxr3 cards is to 
implement the main menu not as overlay, but to encode it in MPEG1 with a 
static background and use OSD (SPU in that case) only for the osd parts 
(channel display, progress bar).
