Yes, it looks like the current MPEG muxer in CVS is, broken, yet again,
in a slightly different way this time.  Try with MPlayer 1.0pre7 to find
out, for sure, if that's the problem.

Also, use "-vf harddup" for mpeg files.

Never assume that.  MPlayer is the most tolerant video player around... 
It'll play damn near anything, even when no other player will.  There
are a few minor exceptions to this (bugs) but the point remains.
