The operations that use it require it to be promoted to a larger (natural)
type and thus perform sign extension on it.
While an optimal compiler may account for this, gcc 4.6 (for x86 Windows)
fails. Using the natural integer type provides a 2% speedup for Win64
and 1% for Win32.

Apple ProRes Format Specifications mentions target data size for every frame,
so make sure frame meets it. This also allows encoder to demand much smaller
packet sizes for output.
