Nope, neither Microsoft Media Player or ULead VideoStudio worked. They both in fact created the same screwed up picture. The movie plays, but the picture is screwed and audio is just a hiss. Go to http://www.verinet.com/~arcane/screwedup.jpg to see what the picture looks like. You can definately tell that it's rendering some parts correctly, but they're in weird places... It might have something to do with when I compiled everything. I ran into a problem compiling dvgrab and had to update a few libraries. The standard compiler in Debian now is egcs based, and for me it dies of an internal compiler error when compiling the kernel. I was using the older compiler, but I think dvgrab required g++ so I had to install the latest stuff.
