VirtualDub manages to both encode and decode it. (As I said, if you 
*play* one, the playback is wrong. But if you decode one to file, the 
decoded file is correct. Which, obviously, is extremely odd.)

Windows Media Player can play it.

Windows Explorer manages to generate thumbnails.

Installing a newer version of ffdshow did alter the thumbnails in 
Windows Explorer, but otherwise had no effect...

I used to use Huffyuv a lot and never had any kind of problem like this, 
so I'm a little confused as to what's gone wrong.
