The issue is not multiples of 16, but multiples of 4, and height only.
Interlaced 4:2:0 video must always have a height that's a multiple of
4; otherwise it's nonsense. Read the encoding guide if you don't
understand why.

I don't know why MPlayer crashes; pullup just returns error on
initialization if the height is bad.

P.S. About that scaling... I hope you're doing interlaced scaling. :)
