I reproduced Rett's configuration on my pc: VLS streaming a TS file via 
rtp to 127.0.0.1:1234 (his was a  multicast configuration),
then ran

./mplayer sdp://file.sdp        (many A/V corruptions)

and after that

./mplayer sdp://file.sdp -dumpfile x.ts -dumpvideo   
(A/V data is multiplexed as TS on demuxer->video, which when run without 
-dumpvideo sends its data to demux_ts)

now I can see that the dump is totally broken.
I don't know if this is due to too much traffic on my lo interface or 
something else.
Unfortunately I don't have another pc to use as client-only.

In a previous mail  Rett wrote that following this method his videodump 
was a perfect copy of the original TS file,
so hopefully  his tests will help better to understand the problem.
