Thanks again.  Here's the script that works for me:

#!/bin/sh

pid=$$

cd /tmp
mkdir $pid
cd $pid

mkfifo stream.yuv
mkfifo mp1
mkfifo mp2

(cat stream.yuv | tee mp1 > mp2 ) &
mplayer -nocache -quiet -vo x11 mp1 & 
mplayer -nocache -quiet -vo x11 mp2 &
mplayer -nocache -vo yuv4mpeg $*

cd ..
rm -rf $pid
