ok this video causes the osd skipping; curiously both mplayer and 
gmplayer suffer the same way.  I reran my (osd failing) poker
vid with both mplayer and gmplayer and contrary to op they
both suffer identically from the halting/leaping osd (I will 
have to recompile the mplayer snapshot to see if I mistakenly
only saw mplayer behaving differently there).

wrt this vid, osd timer (and video) start at 6s, leaps to 8s, then
again leaps to 11s then again to 14s (i.e., osd timer does not 
display "7s" or "10s", etc.); this appears to sync with the changing
text screens.

at ~25s the timer seems to keep moving as there is motion but
on cmd line I see a pile of "Invalid frame duration value 
(23.436/23.436 => -0.000). Defaulting to 0.067 sec."; don't know if
this is important.

as long as there's motion osd seems ok but again at 46s (text on
screen/vid frozen) it stalls then leaps to 48s when text goes away 
(the "Invalid..." is not printed during these two seconds).
