[MPlayer-users] 1080i display corruption

It does seem like that, but if my calculations are correct a single frame will 
only need 8MB of memory, plus the 4MB of my normal screen, which is much less 
than the 32MB of RAM available on my card.

The one thing that points away from this though, is the fact that it's not 
just displaying data from elsewhere in video memory, it's actually having 
trouble displaying it on the screen - the right-hand half of the overlay is 
all weird and jumpy, still moving around even when mplayer is paused, so it 
seems like the overlay circuitry can't really cope with the frame size.

Cheers,
Adam.
