Same here and it is with all Bink compressed videos. The lines are affected by using different anti-aliasing types and different internal resolutions.

Can confirm that the video at the beginning of FIFA 07 also has issues.

Could issue 7393 be related to this one? The fix for those ea videos by delroth came after the merge of tev fixes new to double check it, but the situation seems similar, videos with lines and nvidia gpus.

I have the same issue. Mvp baseball has vertical lines and when you get past the start menu the graphics are all screwed up

If it helps, Just Dance 1/2/3/4, Michael Jackson The Experience and ABBA: You Can Dance also use Bink videos and suffer from the same issue...

(not reproducible in JD2014/2015, apparently these games uses a new engine)

Bink videos? That's different, are you sure you haven't enabled "Force texture filtering"?

EA videos are VP6, not Bink.

Force Texture Filtering cause issues too, but disabling it and messing with anisotropic filtering and IR causes the same artifacts from the screenshot JMC47 posted in OP. At least in Just Dance 1 disc I can see a lot of .bik video files, so I'm assuming it's bink. In JD 2/3/4 they're packed in .bf0/.bf1 files so I can't confirm the video format.

However, I definitely can reproduce this issue with bink videos too...

Any type of texture filtering can mess up dolphin videos, this issue happens regardless of having texture filters enabled or not.

I'm working on this now. I think I've got the solution but I'll need a couple days :P

It's broken on AMD GPUs under their newer drivers now.

I will "me too" on this one too.
The videos like in the intro of Rock band 3 use Bink and have these artifacts. It only happens when I try to use a natively-sized window on auto window size resolution. It makes everything else sharper, but videos look like that. I've extracted the bink and of course it doesn't have the lines going through it. Even on newer builds, this happens.

What's your Hardware?

Intel Core i5 2500k 3.3. Ghz
8GB RAM
Windows 8.1 64-bit
Nvidia GTX 650

Running on Open GL.

Issue 8457 has been merged into this issue.

Issue 8792 has been merged into this issue.

This is a result of an indirect texture lookup accuracy bug, it seems. https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/3570 fixes it for Intel on OS X, but not Nvidia. Tweaking indirect texture lookup stuff can make it better or worse, depending, it seems.

Looks like "Asterix and Obelix at the Olympic Games" (PAL - RQXP70) suffers from this issue as well. Only happens to videos in-game (all videos are .vid on disk; extracting them and playing in VLC will not show the lines) and is affected by Wii Aspect Ratio (4:3 or 16:9), Pal60 mode on or off, IR, and AA. Affects Intel HD Graphics and Microsoft Basic Render Driver for all videos (cinematic, menu videos, etc) and does not affect Radeon R7 240 at all. Software Renderer is not affected.

Hope this helps.

From endrift:

I noticed that, on systems where this is broken, adjusting anisotropic filtering will cause smudging effects that are segmented along the lines in the ea-vp6.dff FIFO. Antialiasing and render size did not appear to affect it though. I don't know how anisotropic filtering works in Dolphin, but it's kind of suspect that this only causes smudging on systems where it's broken

It looks like the problem is a rounding error. I have a patch I'm extremely unsatisfied with, as I think it's a pretty high risk patch and just says "epsilons are the answer!" which is uh, false.

The real fix for this is to integerize texture lookups, but wow that is out of my realm of expertise.

Dolphin 5.0, linux, Red Steel 2, using an AMD Radeon R7 250E (Mesa 13, OpenGL 4.3) playback video is still a bit buggy (especially the training lady showing how to use your sword during the tutorials)

Screenshot link is invalid.

More testing: in above comment, I checked using branch (5.0) (because I'm on Ubuntu 16.04, which has gcc 5 as default. Installing gcc6 and using master branch, even the EA intro is fine with @endrift patch.

I just want to add that Need for Speed Most Wanted videos are still broken on Windows, with a GTX 1070 and latest drivers

Same here, with the same graphics card. It also happens in other EA games such Fifa Street 2.
