[MPlayer-users] Problem: some videos freeze, other very similar videos do not--difference might be just in resolution (pixels)--how to convert?

Just for the record, I tried this option, and then some variations on it, and
none of them got the particular video to play (I mean, still the same frozen
on the first frame problem).
One of the variations I tried was (blindly) substituting some numbers like 1
and 2 in place of nonref (but I did try nonref first). I found the
variations somewhere on the web--if I find the link, I'll post it.
