Ok. You ought to subscribe to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list and report 
your bug there. Be sure to include sample command lines. Also, one thing 
you should clarify when you send a message there: Do qprd and *_mask 
have trouble on their own, or is it the combination of the two that 
causes problems?

If Michael Niedermayer gets enough information he can probably fix it. 
Otherwise, I can document the incompatibility in the mplayer man page.

Anyway, I've always had mixed feelings about whether qprd and *_mask are 
a good idea to use. You might not be worse off without them.

No problem. I was just trying to cover most eventualities.
