Playback of files with b-frames is corrupt
Since upgrading ffmpeg from 0.7_rc1 to 0.7.3 and VLC from 1.1.10 to 1.1.11, playback of files encoded with b-frames is corrupt.
I encoded a file once with b-frames, once without. The source file plays back fine. Playing the two output files back in VLC 1.1.11, the file encoded with b-frames has corrupted video. The same file played in totem looks fine.
This is also reported in https://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/ticket/28 but I'm not sure if the problem is VLC or the ffmpeg decoder.
I have only tried it with files I encoded to xvid. I am running Gentoo linux x86_64.
