Description Nick Parker 2003-05-16 00:57:27 UTC
Copy/Pasted from the forum post: 
 
I noticed an offset of certain colors while I was playing my Contact DVD in MPlayer. The 
problem only occured when I had another window active (in my case, I had X-Chat at 
the top of the screen with the movie playing on the bottom).  
  
Here are some images I took with my digital camera (GIMP was refusing to take 
screenshots of the MPlayer window for some reason):  
  
Ellie fondles a radio receiver with color offset (notice the red numbers, green lights).

The blue square in the mid-upper-right portion of the above image is a result of the 
digital camera (its not something wrong with MPlayer). Likely its a reflection off the 
monitor.  
  
Same as above, without color offset.

To fix the issue, I simply had to select the movie window to make it active.  
  
Relevant info:  
I was using MPlayer 0.90-r1, installed via portage.  
System information:  
CPU: AthlonXP 2100+  
Video Card: NVIDIA GF4 4200 (128 MB)  
Video Drivers: NVIDIA Drivers (1.0.4363-r1)  
Kernel: Gentoo-Sources 2.4.20-R5  
  
For the few minutes after I had encountered the bug, it was repeatable, but it doesn't 
seem to be now (bug was originally encountered about, oh, 20 minutes ago).

Mr. Parker, I am not entirely sure what to do with this bug ...  any new info?
Comment 2 Nick Parker 2003-06-04 03:44:07 UTC
No, don't worry about it, it seemed like a one-time thing.
