Comment (by te36):

 To reproduce "OK" encoding with the haze problem.

 Re-encode example clip with fixed ffmpeg version, eg: to mpeg2.

 Re-encode with mencoder 1.2.1:
 mencoder-1.2.1 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=1500:ildct:ilme
 -o purple-haze-bug-mencoder.avi purple-haze-bug.ts

 produces the same large haze areas. This version of mencoder uses
 Lavc54.23.100

 Re-encode instead directly with Lavc54.23.100:

 ffmpeg-lavc-54.23.100 -i purple-haze-bug.ts -vcodec mpeg4 -flags
 +ildct+ilme -b:v 1500k purple-haze-bug-ffmpeg.avi

 produces some small amount of haze on the edges but they don't tear
 across the whole picture. Maybe mencoder feeds some other parameters into
 lavc mpeg4 encoding.

 Recent versions of ffmpeg/mencoder do not produce visible haze anymore
 using the same encoding example.
