[MPlayer-users] xvidix radeon color problems

[Joonas Koivunen]

hey everyone,

name of the file is http://koti.mbnet.fi/rzei/AvP2_Primal_hunt_trailer.avi 
(12MB). It's an old Cinepak codec trailer I picked up somewhere. I find that 
colors in this movie are screwed up, in the picture black seems to have been 
replaced with green.

This ain't a huge problem as mplayer's native cinepak is able to decode the 
video in a way that xvidix (or radeon?) is able to display it correctly. xv 
driver displays it correctly with both codecs. My xfree86 is late January 
fetched cvs with ati driver and my card is Hercules 3D Prophet 9000 PRO 128MB 
or something like that.

Still, this vfw codec is used by default for some odd reason and is even 
included in win32codecs-lite package. mplayer is latest rc3.

One thing more, OSD doesn't seem to appear with vfw codec and xvidix driver, 
with vfw and xv it does. It also is enabled with native decoder and xvidix 
driver.
