New submission from funicorn <funic...@gmail.com>: I encountered a problem when playing rmvb files using ffmpeg codec. The sample I uploaded shows when playing certain types of rmvb files, mplayer does not render the picture properly, which is "squeezed" onto the lefttop corner of the player window, leaving a large black blank both on the right and bottom sides.
To repeat the same problem, just type $ mplayer some_file.rmvb I was told mplayer would use ffrv40 by default for realplayer10 files. However if I use $ mplayer -vc rv3040 file.rmvb; rv3040 is the real's official codec. then mplayer works fine and the video picture is good. This makes me consider the misformed picture rendering using ffmepg avcodec to be a bug problem. Attached is a screenshot of comparison between using ffmpeg's avcodec and using reals' drvc codec. You can see clearly the large black blank in the first picture. I have uploaded the sample file to ftp named rmvb_window_with_large_black_blank.
