If I compare fish05.avi with the Huffman encoded variants at

http://tranquillity.campus.luth.se/~banan/indeo2/

then I believe that the artifacts are already present in the original or
at least very hard to differentiate from what the original looks like.

I vote for applying Kostya's patch.  It's much better than what we have
currently and a perfect solution is unlikely to appear.
