Corrupted video when using VDPAU and libavformat

[jyavenard]

When using VDPAU, this particular file doesn't display properly. The picture is mostly black, with some green squares appearing from time to time.
The behaviour changes depending on the VDPAU drivers used (nouveau, nvidia or AMD OSS)

the issue can be reproduced with MPlayer 1.1-4.8 (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team (Ubuntu 12.04), when using:
mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffmpeg12vdpau -demuxer lavf Ondine_clip.mpg

using mplayer's default demuxer, it will play fine

Interestingly, using the new hwaccel VDPAU API with nvidia proprietary drivers will play just fine.
With nouveau, with the hwaccel API it usually crashes and AMD's VDPAU also gives a corrupted video (albeit all green this time).

This issue is seen with some DVDs, other samples are available if required.

ticket #254 is closed... maybe it is worth reopening it for clarity?
