[Theora-dev] Very visible artefacts on still frames

[Alen Ladavac]

Hi Thomas,

Thanks a lot for this info. Do you know whether this problem is in the 
encoder or in the decoder? We build decoder from the trunk, so that would be 
fixable, but the encoder is illiminable's dsf filter, so we'd need to 
rebuild that from source. Not trivial but we could probably try that. 
Anyway, we'd need info on which are the diffs for that fix. Is that info 
available somewhere?

Thanks,
Alen
