Attached.  Only took a few minutes.

It's easy enough to handle the binary search.  The hard part is that
mplayer/mencoder doesn't have any useful return values, so (for each
bug) you have to come up with a complicated test.sh script that does
something like compare md5sums, or perhaps time mplayer while it plays a
file and kill it if it hangs...
