Another thing the DivX codec can be used for is converting YV12 to YUY2
or YV12/YUY2 to RGB - maybe that's the case here?

What's the input and output video format on the DivX decoder's pins?
Perhaps it's because the overlay isn't available at that time?

Interesting, I thought Tobjorn was referring to the DScaler DivX filter, =
if you were referring to another DivX filter then it looks like a merit =
problem, decoding filters should be at unlikely.

I'll see if i can reproduce it and get some mediatype dumps.

Unfortunately this problem showed up when i was using livetv (i've just
recently got streaming livetv from the mythtv backend working)
