Berserk - pink squares and videos

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1) Did the game ever work correctly (i.e. not have this problem) on the
Official PCSX2 build or an earlier version of PCSX2 playground?
(If so, please specify the latest pcsx2-playground or Official revision
that last worked.)
Always there strange pink squares in the screen, and the movies problem.
The game work good besides this issue.

2) What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.After starting the game, the images of the movies don't appear, just the
sound. Pressing start skip the video and go to the game. The very first
video show correctly, but when you start the game, the videos show this issue.
2.There are strange pink squares in the screen.

4) What version of PCSX2 are you using? On what operating system?
pcsx2 rev 1099, gsdsx 1076 directx10 with texturing filtering, winvista

Tested on r2283, the intro movies not showing is a GSdx HW only issue, both SW 
mode
and ZeroGS plays fine:

The game has most media on AFS format (MPEG-1 for movies, possibly). As for the 
pink
squares I am not sure, the HUD is not rendered at all on D3D9 HW mode and then
sometimes the pink squares are on SW mode:

ZeroGS crashes once one gets control over the character (when the HUD is about 
to
appear), so I can't confirm if it's an issue with the emulator or the graphic
plugins, rounding modes didn't affect the output.

Blockdump for the movies only, just mash start to skip the opening movie, 
select new
game, easy mode, and then wait for the now loading screen the 3 images on top 
are on
the dump.

A .gs dump might be better for the other issue supposing it is the plugin's 
fault
rather than pcsx2.

OK so let me make it clear:
Movies not showing: GSdx HW ONLY issue
Ingame pink squares with GSdx (even SW) and crash with ZeroGS?

Logos and OP movie plays fine on HW:

GSdx [HW]   : Certain Movies not showing.
GSdx [HW/SW]: Missing, corruption or artifacts on HUD / HUD: red square on 
Health
indicator.

I don't know how to reproduce the pink squares glitch shown above, sometimes I 
get
black squares instead and other times just nothing, switching between SW to HW 
clears
the squares leaving the missing HUD elements, it looks like something is not 
being
cleared, the ingame movies could have the same problem on HW.

Aside the MAP display fine on both modes, on HW the HUD misses the Health 
indicator
which only display a black square and to the right the 'hotkeys' are missing, 
SW only
has the red square artifact which could be likely be a layer depth issue or an 
alpha
issue, though I haven't seen SW doing this on other games.

--------------------------------------------

ZeroGS crashes once ingame right before the game becomes barely playable, but it
should be aside a different issue, it looks definitevely more severe than the
corruption issue.

Even as of 2013 there is no fix, I tried every possible combination and still 
the HUD has pink boxes sucks I won't be able to play this in 1080p :(. Also SW 
has a red box on the health orb, berserk meter is missing, and weapon meters 
don't fill up.

It would be really great to get a fix for this issue. We are still playing it!

mode!! Sucks to keep pressing F9..

I can confirm the bug is still there as of version 5645! Would really 
appreciate if one of the devs can fix this now that an English Patch has been 
released!

The pinks squares are gone using rev5685 GSdx dx11 hardware. Instead there's 
just a translucent square where the health bar is place(top left corner).

Try going into "emulation settings" then "game fixes". check the "enable manual 
game fixes" box.  one of the boxes that is now selectable is "switch to GSdx 
software rendering when a FMV plays". check that box and the FMV movies should 
play in Berserk, while keeping your hi rez hardware rendering for the 3D parts.

I dont have a DX11 card so I'm still messing with settings to get the HUD to 
appear.

Wouldn't it be possible to set in the game-database that for this game PCSX2 
automatically plays FMV with software rendering, instead of always forcing the 
user to manually activate the hack?
