Bug in h263dec.c found. Quicktime movie badly viewed. Found line of code responsible for this.

[busy@…]

When watching MOV files from my digicam, mplayer sucked.
Example movie : ​http://guerila.com/ole/problem.mov.
mplayer's output during watching this movie is :

[mpeg4 @ 0x8527700]slice end not reached but screenspace end
(0 left 000000, score= 29)

and the code line responsible for this is in h263dec.c in line 279 :

if(s->msmpeg4_version

(s->workaround_bugs&FF_BUG_NO_PADDING)){ FIXME

perhaps solve this more cleanly

when that line is replaced by :

if (1) {

i can watch the movie just fine..

Thanx for listening

-lavdopts bug=<somenumber> should also fix it. Look in the manpage for details.

Indeed. Plays fine with -lavdopts bug=16. Any ideas on how to autodetect it?
Anyway, I don't think it's a bug. Or, rather, this is a bug in the encoder that
created that MPEG-4 stream.
