Can you narrow it down to a specific mplayer output option?  E.g. does it happen with mplayer -vo xv or mplayer -vo x11 or some other option?

Comment 2 Romano Giannetti 2008-08-10 10:48:33 UTC

Jesse,

I am sorry, I cannot reproduce it. I tried with x11, xv, gl, gl2 and all worked ok. I do not know what can have happened, but I am sure that it happened three times in a row yesterday, with the same kernel. 

You can mark the bug as invalid if you like, if I can trigger it again I will re-open it.
