Bug in Movie Clip Advanced

Hi!
If I use the "Movie Clip Advanced" as Texture the Loader itself cuts off of appr. 3px at the right side of the movie,
(which is mapped on a rect with the movie's size). This has nothing todo with its 2D mapping...
The "Movie Clip" does not have this behaviour.
I heared the advanced one is more reliable and stable, but the cut-off is not acceptable.
At current Ventuz Version: Is the Movie Clip as stable as the Advanced Movie Clip?
This vpr is running 24/7 on a permanent installation.
Do you got any hint?
This concern is urgent.
Thanks.
Nico

Hi Nico!
Is this related to a certain codec?

Hey Karol,
that was my first thought, I checked wmv and mp4 (h264). Both codecs had the same phenomenon.
I also tested it on a nvidia card and a firepro on different systems... same phenomenon.
I tested different ffdshow settings... but I think this has no effect on the advanced loader.
Can't you reproduce it? If not, I can send you some screenshots + video.
What about the reliability of the "old" loader?

You are right!
That's really bad. We have to investigate if this is a Ventuz bug or a problem in ffmpeg.
The problems of old Movie Clip node are:
- worse performance
- no frame-accurate playback
- no async loading
- it's DirectShow based
But if you can live with it, use it.
Best Regards
Karol

Hi,
we invested this more in detail!
When I confirmed this, it was because of a movie which I created to test this (720p, H264, MOV container).
Today we tested a lot of different movie in different resolutions, with different codecs in different containers and could not find any pattern. Only in very few case this problem occurred.
I have to admit that my first test movie is not encoded correctly (QT Pro) - the right pixels are missing in every movie player (QT, WMP, MPC).
Best Regards
Karol

Happy new year!
I would like to send you a video, which seems be encoded correctly as it is viewed correctly in every video player I tested.
This video is confidential, so pls pm me your email thus I can send you the url.

Hi everybody!
If any of you runs into the same phenomenon: It's about the resolution.
I used a 804x452px mp4 video in pixel space to have native output.
The mentioned bug appears on awry resolutions and is within the FFMPEG decoder!
I rendered the videos up to a "normal" resolution (720p) and everything is fine...
thx Karol
