Gif is only supported as stand-alone format (animated gif)
Anyway i think tis file is either a reference file or very broke, a 2x2
picture is sure too small to be useful.

Seeing the cache fill size i'd vote for the reference file option. Try
with cvs, some of them were fixed recently. And never cut mplayer
output when you post it to this list
