Hmm, seem to be a problem with the ffrv20 codec detecting a fake resize
request, if you run mplayer in verbose mode (-v) you'll see something
like

[rv20 @ 0x87c89b0]attempting to change resolution to 240x176

where the error starts.
The bit 3 messages are harmless and can be ignored.

As a workaround you can try to force use of the binary codec, the
correct syntax should be -vc rv20mac (if it doesn't work try the other
rv20 variants, I don't have a mac to test it).

Else you can try to play a different video track, MPlayer autoselect
the one with the highest bitrate, in this case video id 13 and audio id
10. I tested video id 12 (-vid 12) and it seem to work.
The available track are printed on the output messages, you can try all
of them with -vid # or -aid #

Ciao,
 Roberto
