I tried to adjust ffmpeg/ffplay once to be capable of handling width/height 
changes on-the-fly but I failed. I found it highly untrivial. Currently, 
most .txd files (renderware texture dictionaries) will crash ffmpeg if 
texture sizes are not the same or produce faulty output. Concattenated 
mpegs of different dimensions will do the same.
