Bennet,

    I did find that as a solution.  I was also able to get some more 
information on it:

1) Window Media Video appears to be unaffected by this
2) DivX and XviD files are affected

I'm sort of wondering how the x11 driver can be so codec specific on 
when it screws up :|?

Sincerely,
Chris White
