Makes a difference. I'm not familiar with rawvideo, you see...

I'll try it. And yeah, I want nicest quality, why would I bother with
bicubic scaling in the first place otherwise? ;)

I can test it in windows, but I have no means of compiling mplayer for
windows. Do you know where I can get win32 build with latest vo_gl
changes (after pre8)?

*sigh* so I thought. The fact that sometimes it works for sure,
sometimes it doesn't and sometimes it's random really doesn't make a
sense. I mean, what's the difference between libmpeg2 and ffmpeg
decoders in absence of dr/slices/etc? There should be none...
