------- Comment #17 from Mark Nauwelaerts  2008-05-17 12:06 UTC -------
The former of the above commits should have fixed the segment warning, as it
should prevent sinks from doing fancy/nasty stuff with segments, such as
forcing the format to TIME and complaining later on about BYTE seeks (see also
bug 519878).  The other one is unrelated.

In any case, neither deals with any extra bytes in the header.
MS specs mainly intend these rcFrame fields for use with for several video
streams, in which case it indicates the rectangle within the movie rectangle
specified by the main (avi) header.  As such, I suspect another "solution"
(e.g. mencoder) is to simply add 2 (int32) 0 (size gives the others).  But even
as it stands, I have known the resulting files to play on Windows (IIRC
including WMP), as also indicated by other reports.  And one would assume these
players essentially come down to the same (MS) libs.

In view of this, how does "only affects Helix" (on Windows?) in Comment #10
relate to "some players in MS windows" in Comment #2, and that in turn to
"can't be played in most player in the MS Windows" in the original report ?
