Some cards will not work in the color spaces yv12
Try to forde the use of nother colorspace and see if it gets better.
To disable yv12:
mplayer -vf noformat=yv12
Or actually force another colourspacer, e.g.
mplayer -vf yuy2
or
mplaer -vf format=yuy2,scale
Second one works with other colourspaces like rgb16, rgb32, bgr16,
bgr32,too.
List of colorspaces with mplayer -vf format=fmt=help
