This is bug 2 of 2. These bugs have been around for as long as I can 
remember and because they weren't getting fixed I thought I might 
report them. I am using gcc 3.3. I am on mac os x 10.3.9. I am using 
the cvs version of mplayer.
When I use the standard -framedrop with h264 files it will put out this 
type of line repeatedly, which I'm guessing is whenever it skips a 
frame. This causes mplayer to lag further and drop more frames. If you 
get to a sufficiently complex movement scene mplayer will continuously 
drop frames for several seconds getting no movement. ex:
Error while decoding frame!94 ct:  4.545 1327/1327 82% 18%  4.8% 1058 0
Error while decoding frame!43 ct:  4.549 1328/1328 82% 18%  4.8% 1059 0
Error while decoding frame!31 ct:  4.574 1334/1334 82% 18%  4.8% 1065 0
Error while decoding frame!02 ct:  4.579 1335/1335 82% 18%  4.8% 1066 0
Error while decoding frame!09 ct:  4.604 1341/1341 82% 18%  4.8% 1072 0
If I instead use -hardframedrop the problem disappears and it functions 
as if -framedrop was used with an xvid file.
