Color still off.  I'm kind of trying to figure out if you can force it to read only track 5 and then force ffmjpeg there as well but it's probably using track 1's header that might be why the color is off.

Well that's definately not all that is needed.  I doubt that mplayer knows very little of what it's doing when it tries to play it itself.  It is ususual that it does pull out that pic which is from somewhere out of the middle of the trailer.

As for an option to select tracks, there already is something like that for supported formats.  Its -vid x  where x is a number.  When trying 5 and ffmjpeg, it just crashes, but when trying 1 it displays the picture.  Though the latter doesn't prove my theory very well...  I still don't think that is the image stored there, as I think it would be the background image shown if you play it under the real quicktime.  If I get time I suppose I should read the code to know what exactly is happening in this case.
