How fast are you creating the frames? Is the MPlayer cache filling up  
before new frames are read? That's going to be your problem, I think.

You'll need a streaming application. This all depends on your  
platform, and I'm pretty sure MPlayer/MEncoder was never intended to  
stream media, so your best bet would be to google for something.
