CrimeDog,

I've tried that, but it still does not work :-( Could you please tell
me:

a) Which debian are you using: testing or unstable (sarge or sid)? I'm
using unstable (sid).
b) Have you changed any configuration files (such as /etc/mplayer/?) I
have not changed any of the configuration files.
c) What does your /etc/apt/sources.list look like? Here's mine:

deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main

Rieimar has suggested using CVS, but you are not using CVS (and the clip
is OK for you), so I do not think that this is necessary.

Here is the output from "mplayer -v -vc ffmjpeg -vo xv broken.avi":
