[MPlayer-users] video artifacts in VP6 flv videos on powerpc

[Tito Dal Canton]

Hello list,

I'm using mplayer (MPlayer dev-SVN-r26305-4.1.3) on ubuntu gutsy
on powerpc (ibook G4, altivec enabled). I'd like to report the
presence of video artifacts in some flv files containing ffvp6f
video. The artifacts are vo-independent as I get them with xv, x11,
gl, gl2 and fbdev2 output drivers. I suspect it might be an endian
issue (the same video files play correctly on x86 machines) connected
to the video width (the artifact seems to show up only with certain
video widths). I had a look inside libavcodec/vp6* but couldn't
narrow the problem more. I also looked for reports from other people,
but couldn't find any. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Some files with the problem can be found at
    www.on2.com/docs/graf/seaturtle.240x176.100d.15f60k.FL8.flv
    www.on2.com/docs/graf/mrandmrssmith_624x336_700.flv
    www.on2.com/docs/graf/whirligig.240x176.100d.15f060.FL8.flv
(that site also contains flv movies that play correctly).
