This bug can be seen very clearly with e.g. mplayer -vo aa -monitoraspect 3 in which case a big part of the picture is missing or there is even completely black output. The reason for this is, when drawing only a part of the picture via aarender() the first X coordinate is used for the loop count, but it is not applied to the destination and source image index, thus instead of (re)drawing the middle part of the image, it draws always the left part. Actual Results: only the left part of the image is drawn (depending on the video, only the left black bar might be drawn, so you will see nothing at all - if so use a slightly smaller value for -monitoraspect). Expected Results: All of the image should be drawn, and -monitoraspect should only squeeze the image, not cause part of it to missed. https://sourceforge.net/p/aa-project/patches/8/ https://bugs.gentoo.org/214142 https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/media-libs/aalib/files/aalib-1.4_rc5-fix-aarender.patch --- src/aarender.c.orig 2008-03-18 23:55:32.000000000 +0100 +++ src/aarender.c 2008-03-18 23:55:50.000000000 +0100 @@ -94,8 +94,8 @@ gamma = randomval / 2; mval = (c->parameters[c->filltable[255]].p[4]); for (y = y1; y < y2; y++) { - pos = 2 * y * wi; - pos1 = y * aa_scrwidth(c); + pos = 2 * (y * wi + x1); + pos1 = y * aa_scrwidth(c) + x1; esum = 0; for (x = x1; x < x2; x++) { i1 = table[((((int) c->imagebuffer[pos])))];
