Argh.  I was about to tell you that I successfully encoded several videos with 
your patch in the meantime, but I just realized that they don't play back on 
an mplayer-1.0pre6-3.3.5 on another computer. :-(

The screen stays black, so the resulting video must have unwanted properties.  
I compared the output of mplayer -v -v on some output files, but the only 
changes are changed offsets / hex values, no recognizable message saying 
where the files differ. Will have a closer look later, but anyhow - the real 
fix (tm) is still missing. :-(

Greetings,
