--- Comment #14 from Pjotr <pjotr1950 at gmail.com> ---
I have the same problem in 6.0.7 and 6.3.4.2. In 6.0.7 the ogg-theora all of a
sudden was transformed from its original 4:3 image stretched to 16:9. In the
6.3.4.2 version it is shown again as 4:3 but the flickering bar that looks as a
non-functioning raster sync known from an ancient B&W TV shows again. What sort
of video is used does not change anything and turning off or on the cache
options either in Impress or general image options. I tried to turn off java,
LO complained but I ignored that and ran my presentation again. It runs without
java as well but the flickering bar remains. I see many people running their
presentations, stopping it to show a video with another app and continue their
slideshow... In all these cases they do not use LO, many times they even do not
know it's existence so it seems that other presentation managers have these
sorts of problems as well. In LO's Impress this used to work flawless.
Unfortunately this is no longer the case. I just wonder what the real problem
is, that this cannot be solved. Is it due to reproducing the error? Is it
because this option is not widely used? I now have to switch to an external
player as well to properly show an embedded video in a correct format and
without this "out-of-sync-rolling-bar". I keep hoping someone can, some day. I
currently use Linux Mint with the MATE desktop, 64bit version 19.3 and
installed the latest stable LO from PPA on a Dell laptop, 8GB ram, Core-i5,
250GB SSD with a second HD monitor as "beamer"-replace via a HDMI cable.
