Hmm, this works perfectly for me with MPlayer 0.90pre8-3.1 and dvb-0.9.0..

I had the same problems at replay with 720:576: there have been parts of a
movie  that were not played smoothly, and i could repeat this effect on 
the same part. I think its a PCI problem, too, because the load of the
CPU was ok. After downscaling everything works now (and i see no differences
in quality).
