Comment (by bjm):

 (In [11064]) Update the help text for mpeg4optionidct and mpeg4optionime
 options. The real problem is that the code is not processing the data
 properly and can cause damaged video regardless of CPU usage. These
 damaged artifacts can be seen at low resolution when the CPU is not
 even close to being pegged (in fact, the high CPU may be a symptom of
 the problems while mis-handling the data).

 What the user needs to know is that if they turn these on then see
 damaged recordings (for whatever reason) they should turn these off
 again as they are almost surely the cause of any new problems.

 Because these option flags didn't work in previous versions, I agree
 that resetting them in dbcheck is a non-intrusive, good solution to
 prevent new complaints with 0.20.
