Comment (by rudolfc):
AlienSoldier, Perhaps some screenshots (taken with a camera, lower res
will do) will make things clearer. Sounds like a programming error in the
gfx driver indeed. Also, please be aware that the exact error might become
evident if you do some explicit tests:
- keep scaled at 1:1, to prevent scaling errors to kick in: draw window
halfway outside screen at left, top, right and bottom (one at a time) and
see how the visible part of the video progresses (still video, paused
please)
- scale up to so 150% and redo the tests
- scale down to say 75% and redo the tests.
None of the above things goes well without explicit programming of the
overlay card hardware. With these tests you'll notice most of the
problems.
Currently I test overlay using VLC 0.86D since indeed mediaplayer does not
work: probably due to missing translation options inside/attached to that
player: overlay mostly uses one colorspace only in our drivers which
mediaplayer apparanly does not support.
