I have placed test-videos:
http://upload.confusion.at/test1.avi
 	Video created with opencv / ffmpeg (same result also with opencv svn /
 	ffmpeg svn)
 	opencv set pixfmt bgr24 for rawvideo,
 	but codec tells this is a IYUV / 420p video

http://upload.confusion.at/test2.avi
converted with:
 	ffmpeg -f rawvideo -pix_fmt bgr24 -r 4 -s 456x400 -i test1.avi
 		-vcodec rawvideo -pix_fmt bgr24 test2.avi
 	now the videos looks "better", but moves from left to right and top to
 	bottom.

Any ideas if the original video stored by opencv could be restored?

Kind regards,
