 Summary of the bug:
 Comparing two method of converting a h.264 MOV file to lower bitrate. The
 h.264 MOV file is straight from my GH3 camera.

 Method 1: just use ffmpeg to decode and encode:
 No special issue.

 Method 2: use -hwaccel vdpau to make use of hardware vdpau decoding:
 For the output file, highlight areas (sky/cloud) is clipped.

 I have a screen capture on the three files, original one, using plain
 ffmpeg and using ffmpeg + hwaccel.

 How to reproduce:

 This is the line for using Nvidia vdpau to convert my origial MOV file.
