Except, there are no artifacts with DXVA2 using avcodec, or Microsofts
DMO decoder.
The software avcodec decoder really can't be trusted with interlaced
material as any serious reference.

It appears i previously only answered Jeroen directly instead of
replying to the list, but the sample plays perfectly with DXVA2 in
avcodec on Windows.
