I've never tried ffmpeg's -lowres before. My code broke with lowres and
I wanted to check lavc (turned out to be unrelated).
Your patch improves ffmpeg's lowres but doesn't fix it.
I assumed it worked at some point :)

Well? Something like a CODEC_CAP_LOWRES.

For most video it's very good. I don't think it's been better before
though.
I have an anime clip that is pretty revealing. I've uploaded a snippet
to MPlayer's incoming as "difficult_lowres.avi".
Play with e.g. "mplayer -lavdopts lowres=1 difficult_lowres.avi".
