mpgtx_-j_-o_test.mpg_1.mpg_2.mpg_3.mpg-video_fails_in_mplayer_works_in_xine.mpg

After 23 seconds only audio continues and video freezed. It is the same
place where 1.mpg ends.

Sorry about the content, if it insults someone, but it is the first
example I found. Mostly 'mpgtx -j -o' files behave the same. xine plays
them but mplayer not. My friend who has little bit different system
confirmed the bug.
