--- Comment #12 from Andy Furniss adf.lists@gmail.com --- (In reply to comment #11)
I had some dvds laying around and those had no issues and downloaded other mpeg2 clips too and those too worked fine with vdpau decoding, but with this particular clip vdpau messed stuff up badly.
I found a link for the clip here: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/399
This is the direct download link, its a mpeg2 clip, around 20MB: http://www.mediafire.com/?4dvvwj5aw2esv49
I think this file is exceptional and so it not working is probably unrelated to whatever issue others are seeing.
It doesn't work because vdpau doesn't support field coded mpeg2. I guess because it is very rare - other than compliance streams this is the first one I've seen in the wild, and given it's mpeg2 in mkv with ac3 and the cartoon content is a mix of progressive and interlaced (maybe from telecine and frame rate converted) I don't know if it's an amateur creation or something "real".
