[MPlayer-users] VCD

i am having the same problem described below with a CVS checkout from today.
after seeing this guy get chewed into, i'm erring on the side of too much
info. :)

this is debian, sid, with kernel 2.4.18; libc is 2.2.5; gcc is 2.95.4; X is
4.1.0. binutils and ld version 2.11.93. CPU is athlon 1700XP, and the video
card is a TNT2, using nvidia's driver.

when i try to play a VCD from either CD or a file, i get video and audio
that are horribly distorted; the picture is half-covered with black, green,
and other colored squares. the sound has awful wrongness in it too. the
output is recognizable but not watchable.

i know to use -vcd 2, and doing -vfm 5 as suggested doesn't help.

thanks in advance for any help,

aaron brick.
