Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

Whenever I play a video using XVideo output (any player), areas with highly contrasting colors look significantly blockier than when the video is played using X11 or OpenGL output. Kubuntu 7.10 with a Radeon X300SE. No composite extension.

Could you please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf files, and a screenshot or photograph of the screen that shows the issue?

I have since switched over to the fglrx driver, so my Xorg log won't help. Nor with my xorg.conf (it was a stock Ubuntu one). And a screenshot is kind of impossible since it can't exactly capture overlays. And I don't have a camera that could capture a monitor at that level of accuracy.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. In the development cycle for Intrepid there have been some vast improvements in the open source ati video driver and we could use your help testing them. Could you please download the latest Alpha CD image of Intrepid and test this particular bug just using the Live CD? You can find the latest image at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . Your testing can help make Ubuntu and the open source ati driver even better! Thanks in advance.
