first you post a bugreport related to your code which is not reproducable
in ffmpeg and ffplay

next you post a fix to your bug by checking if the reference picture is
mising in the innermost loop, which obviously is rejected with:
"patch rejected, checking if the ref frame is NULL in the MB loop is
not acceptable, check outside and allocate it or disacard the frame"

after that theres your first try to convince me to fix your bug:
"Given you're the maintainer of the code I assume you can come up with a
better patch for that. I have no idea what this thing is about. I just
know it's not good to access NULL pointers and that this fixes the bug.
I will keep my patch in DrFFMPEG until a 'better' fix comes here."

after that you post the patch we just disscussed above, which also
simply uses the current picture instead of correctly allocating it
like i suggested

i choose to ignore you as you ignored my comment to your first patch

Guillaume pings and i quickly review the patch and explain tersly why 
its not ok

and finally you try again for the 2nd time to push your bug toward
me with "I guess it's up to the MPEG2 maintainer to fix that bug the 
FFMPEG way then."

so my final comment to you:
if its reproduceable in ffmpeg/ffplay provide enough details for us
to reproduce it, if you want a patch applied deal with all comments
made, if you dont understand something just ask
if you just want to fight your little fight against the ffmpeg project
by submiting trash (assert+if, random repeatly rejected msvc workarounds,
...) then i can ban you off the list if you want after all this is not
the first time you try something like this (MSVC workarounds, matroska
patch, ...)
and in case of the matroska patch, iam sure you remember, you
1. refused to provide a file so i could reproduce the bug
2. posted a unacceptable patch i rejected
3. expected me to fix your trash, which i even did
4. attacked me that i didnt test my code (remember you didnt
   provide a sample for testing in the first place)
