I suspect it was the fix for this issue:
https://roundup.ffmpeg.org/roundup/ffmpeg/issue562

So mplayer that uses libavcodec prior to r15183 works and post does not.

Because this video apparently uses pan_scan properly according to the spec, but
so many others do not. So reverting this fix breaks all the other videos.
