'Fresh' is the source code from the day you find the problem. You will
need git, svn and all relevant libraries+headers installed. An easy
way to do the latter is to install everything necessary to build
mplayer from your distro's packaging system.

Then:

svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer
cd mplayer
./configure --enable-mencoder
make
./mencoder <your args>


For history, use any svn client, point it at
svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk/

Is this a HD channel/H264 video? Does it work if you use -demuxer lavf ?
