that warning was removed at least 3 weeks ago; not much was added
but at least this proves that you should upgrade your mplayer.
Do other players play smoothly that content?
With my p4 2.4/800 only windvd 4 (sorry) can play smoothly 1920x1088 clips
(didn't measure how long it lasts).
Did you try -vc ffmpeg12 ?
About the corruption: are you sure it's not due to poor DVB reception?
