file contains one damaged frame, but strangely mplayer allways passes this 
damaged frame to lavc unless lavc ignores the error, demuxer bug!?
possible workaround is to
------------------msmpeg4.c--------
    s->pict_type = get_bits(&s->gb, 2) + 1;
    if (s->pict_type != I_TYPE &&
        s->pict_type != P_TYPE)
+        s->pict_type = P_TYPE;
-        return -1;

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