Removed, and the same result.  The codecs.conf file came from the CVS etc 
directory, so I would hope it's relatively up to date unless the 
codecs.conf file isn't really used anymore.  Here's the run with the 
release version of mplayer, where the video plays fine.

As I had said before, the release version chooses the right colorspace and 
the video plays.  I haven't tried playing it on my G4 with the CVS 
version, so I don't know if it's a G3 vs. G4 thing.  Here's a link to the 
video I was testing with:
