no, there is no problem with decoding, the problem is in the yv12->rgb
convertion, the fields have to be converted seperately not like a frame

you can eiher send us a CLEAN patch which changes ffmpeg.c / ffplay.c
to support that or better implement it in libavfilter

to see some example on how to do it see libmpcodec/vf_scale.c in mplayer
svn
