I don't see how, mc_block has the exact same behavior. From what I could 
figure from RTFS, dx and dy are always 0<=d<=15, and always even. I just 
tested out another odd resolution video (364x241), md5sum still match.

BTW, widths that divide by 4 now do work for me, but anything less still 
gives
mencoder: snow.c:2438: pred_block: Assertion `b_w>1 && b_h>1' failed.
I'm not sure why only widths that divide by 8 worked for me earlier, maybe 
I was using out of date cvs. This is up to date to yesterday night though.

BTW2, can 'assert(!(b_w&3))' ever fail in mc_block ? If not, I can remove 
the C code duplication in the mmx functions... I know b_h was still 
divisable by 8 in this odd res video. Can't know about b_w cause encoding 
doesn't work...

I'm generally clueless about this, either way, my MMX still stands and I 
would like it committed as it's the last piece missing for me to play a 
944x544 snow file smoothly... Even the C code is significantly faster...
