And both _look_ correct?
Asking because there is nothing about a scale filter being selected.
In fact what it seems to say is that originally the decoder claimed 422 but when MPlayer asked again it changed its mind to actually wanting 420...
I can think of one related change, though I can't imagine how it would cause this.
