Uhh, we don't need to know what the file is.

Or where it came from. Basically, what you just described is probably  
illegal.

"clitch clatch !!!" doesn't tell us too much. Can you give us some of  
MPlayer's verbose output by using the command line below:

mplayer -v <input file>

Well, if MPlayer works, then what's the problem? You've already told  
us the MPG was corrupted. This is all consistent with the side- 
effects of a broken MPG file, not a broken MPlayer.

Well, just provide us with everything you can. But at this point,  
it's looking more to me like a problem with the input file, not MPlayer.
