hmm. i've found that i was wrong :)
it auto-selected the vfw cinepak codec with BGR15 colorspace. and it seems
the ati rage mobility chipset can't do interpolation for rgb 15/32.

i've played with those flags and found the same as you described in the
comments. and it works fine for YUV colorspaces with interpolation.

so, the solution for me was -vop format=yv12 :)
