Check your xvinfo and see how large the maximum XvImage size is.
I could be that a different color resolution may help, i.e. going from
32bit to 16bit. The cards use offscreen video memory for the overlay
and if they don't have enough memory they can't do the larger
overlays. Some cards may also have hardware restrictions.
