Ops, I tought that you use a new version of mplayer.

The -vf option is the new option to activate video filters (in correct 
order) and the framestep filter is in mplayer from version 1.0pre1.

If you want to use the framestep filter (and ALL the new feature of 
mplayer, like mpeg2 encodimg just to name one) you have to upgrade.
