[MPlayer-users] codec tsccvid.dll: playback fails if vid.res. is 1024:768 (device is incompatible with this codec)

[Thomas]

Ok,
sorry for not posting the whole verbose log:

So here is my first check of the differences between the working and not working one:
The fourcc id is the same: 0x63637374 (tsccvid.dll)

The main difference is the resolution (800:600 to 1024:768) and the use 
of BGR 15-bit conversion to the output device 
VDec: using BGR 15-bit as output csp (no 0) (working with 800:600).

The biBitCount of the video format has also changed from 16 to 24 bit.

It seems that the colorspace/depth conversion fails with 1024:768.

I suppose that the greater resolution can't be handled by the
video filter/scaler to the output device. 
This is not very common resolution for mainstream video movies.
Are there any helpful changes to be made to the code or codecs config 
to solve this problem or is the problem the BGR 15 bit conversion with this resolution ?
Reading the codecs howto didn't helped me.

The working one has a 800x600 resolution and a 15-bit YUY2 colorspace:
