Hi Edwin

It might be not mplayer/mencoder/xine issue. Try to watch something THAT 
large,
for example some HD movie trailer. Possibly, the problem is that your video
hardware has not sufficient memory for overlay texture allocation.
You may use -vo jpeg or png (well, I know how it sounds) to see if your 
movie is
all right. My former ATI Rage crashed anything when I was trying to 
watch >720px wide
movies. Current Nv GF FX 5200 shows 1280px wide movies without overlay 
problems.
