I had the same problem a long time ago (sometime before 0.90). My solution was 
to use the "rgb2bgr" video filter.

I think the option I used was "-vf rgb2bgr". This swaps the red and blue 
channels. Check the man page if it doesn't work; its been a while since I 
used it.

If its only certain movies that give you trouble, try creating a file "<Movie 
Name>.conf" in your ~/.mplayer/ directory, and add the line above. This will 
load the filter every time you play the movie(s).
