The reason is most possibly that your CPU is not fast enough.
I have the same errors with h264-compressed files on Celeron-850.
The same version of mplayer built in the same environment
(gcc, glibc, etc) on P-4 2.2 works perfectly.
Possibly, frame decoding is halted in abnormal way, when time
to display next frame comes. However, I am absolutely not sure.
