I think it probably is in the Nvidia driver, but it could be in XFree or 
my particular hardware. If no one else sees it on Nvidia hardware, it 
could my particular card, since it's a very cheap brand. Or, if others 
see it on Nvidia hardware, but not on other hardware, it's probably the 
driver. If everyone has this problem with Xvideo (which seems extremely 
unlikely, since I haven't heard anyone else complain about it), it could 
be XFree. What about you? Does large video work with "-vo xv"?
