Not only are they old, but they are also often compiled in a way not optimal
for users.

You should paste your complete command line and console output.

I am sorry I missed that. Could you make the file available? At least the
first few kilobytes, enough for mplayer to succeed and show a few frames and
ffmpeg to fail?

If mplayer can read something that ffmpeg can't, that is definitely worth
investigating.
