With real file, the results are er.. strange.
Both with yuv=2 and yuv=3 there are no problems. However, should I try
to change brightness, contrast or saturation, I immediately see those
broken lines defects. Even when I don't change them, i.e. my config is

KP7 contrast -3
KP8 contrast abs 1
KP9 contrast 3
KP4 brightness -3
KP5 brightness abs 1
KP6 brightness +3
KP1 saturation -3
KP2 saturation abs 1
KP3 saturation +3

and if default contrast is at zero and I press KP8 (contrary to what it
may look like, it actually sets it to zero), nothing actually changes
but the image breaks at the moment I press those keys.


But if you remember correctly, I got these kind of defects _always_.
Well, I just tried it with that file, but with same options (test
filter, -geometry etc.) and guess what? I got broken lines again,
without even changing b/c/s.

I checked a few different files. Here is result:
"avc1" (ffh264), 1920x1080 (mov) - no defects
DIV3 632x480 (avi) - defects (!)
MPEG1 320x240, ffmpeg - defects
same file, libmpeg2 - no defects
MPEG2 720x480, ffmpeg - defects (!)
same file, libmpeg2 - no defects
WMV3 1280x720 (asf), wmv9dmo - defects (!!)
WMV1 352x288 (asf), ffwmav2 - no defects (!!)

where mentioned (!), in about one case out of 10 or more I got opposite
result. Where mentioned (!!), in about 1 case of 5 I got opposite
results. I case of (!) I always got defects after no-defects case. Not
true in case of (!!).

Trying to change b/c/s produces defects instantly.

All files should be YV12, I guess.. -nomenu/-noslices/-dr/-nodouble
don't change a thing.

So, what do you think?
