   Ok, this is the worst possible case of picture deterioration due to
scaling (http://zoy.org/~sam/weavescaling.png for those interested).
Basically it happens because the picture is interlaced, and then a few
lines are added or removed by the vlc's inner scaling, and then again a
few lines are added or removed by the BBitmap scaling. Next version of
the video output should remove most if not all of theses artifacts.
