personally i think the main problem with lavc was and is the ratecontrol
not the idct missmatch but ateme still might be a bigger disadvantage
for lavc then lavc is for xvid, the reason is that lavc will use the xvid
idct for xvid so, theres no missmatch if ffdshow is used but an unknown one
for ateme
