[MEncoder-users] Broken AVI files???

[Charles Wilcox]

Looking through the web CVS interface, many of the libmpcodecs/ve_* files 
had this bug, and were all patched two weeks ago.  So I will grab this 
diff and patch my mplayer files accordingly.

Thanks for the debugging and verification Peter, and thanks for the CVS 
info Dominik.
