If the frame has a specific resolution like 1366 x 768, the decode frame contains extra black border at the right side of the frame. I have debugged it and realized that the av_pic.linesize[0] is 50 more than the linesize during the encoding.

Thanks for your reply. I have described the problem in detail with some pictures here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=169036
It is really strange that it produces no black part (bar) when I set the width = width+1 when calling sws_getContext. Could it be a bug in swscale since I do no scaling?

Thanks a lot.
