<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>HI, i want to report a possible bug. I made a
backup copy of "the devil's advocate" using libavcodec(mpeg4); the resulted avi
has a very good quality ad is playedback fine by mplayer, but when i play it
under windowz (DIVX 5.02/5.03) there is a passage whit macroblocks jam! I do not
report the encoding parameters because I've tried i think a hundred combination
and they all lead to the same result. I also tried to change the fourcc of the
avi from DIVX to XVID and, using the xvid coded (under windowz), the problem
doesn' appear! So I think that the problem is not realy a bug but a little
incompatibility between libavcodec and DIVX (perhaps more on DIVX side). What do
you think about? I've compiled both mplayer(0.90rc2/3) and lame with gcc2.95.3
(all optimization enabled for my athlon 1.7+) and i received no error messages
during the encoding. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>The triky passage in the
movie is when the "devil" appears for the first time, then he goes in the
underground and then there is a time warp passage with a scene of the city,
there are several HI-light/dark/HI-light rapid passages. On these passages the
macroblock jam comes up and lasts some secons. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That's all. I hope not to make you lose time whith
this bugreport.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks.</FONT></DIV>
