Well, xv (and sdl) gives the same behavior (I'm using ati.2, this 
also happened with the generic XF86 ati driver).  Maybe this
is a hardware related thing.  It could also be due to things bumping
uglies in the video buffer.  I tried telling the X server to use 4M, but
it insists on taking all 8M.  I also tried disabling some of the Xaa
buffers, but no good.  It would be nice if other people with Mach 64 based
chipsets would try this out.  Even if you don't have an 800 pixel wide
movie, software scaling to 800 will do the trick.  "-vf scale=800:600"
