[Theora-dev] Very visible artefacts on still frames

[illiminable]

The directshow filters aren't that hard to build from source, providing you 
have VS 2003.

I should be starting work on something else ogg related in august, so 
development will start up on them again, and that fix will be integrated 
into the next build.

Zen.
