It seems someone else had this problem in January 2009 but at the time
it wasn't reproducible with the SVN version:
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2009-January/075704.html

The error message comes from mpeg_decode_mb() in libavcodec/mpeg12.c.

Could you un-comment '#undef NDEBUG' and '#include <assert.h>' in the
beginning of that file, recompile, and see if something interesting
happens.

Alternatively recompile mencoder with debugging (i.e., ./configure
--enable-debug=3) and send a back trace when it fails.
