I think it's as complex as you can get, and the nvidia decoder cannot
handle it properly. With vdpau, cuvid and now nvdec, there are a lot of
visual glitches. Interestingly, the resutls with nvdec are better than
cuvid, so not using the nvidia parser somehow makes things less worse.

I'd love to try a single warp point sample but can't find or generate
one.
