Hmm, OK I admit that was stupid - looking once into the online archives
revealed    
the "How do I take a AVI file and make an MPEG out of it with mencode?"   
message(s).. #-} Thanks for the tips there, I'll look into
transcode/mpegtools 
(what a pity that I have done several MPEG1 streams which I cannot re-use). 
   
However, maybe someone knows why mpeg_play can detect the frame size   
(which means to me it can do _sth._ with AVIs), but not display the video
encoded   
with lavc vcodec=mpeg1video?
