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

At Carl's suggestion (off list, iirc), I uploaded the videos to
datafilehost.com
Note: I was very wrong about the lengths of the videos--although both play for
about the same amount of time, the problematic video is much shorter--10 MB
vs. 23 MB. Maybe the problem is that the problematic video uses some sort of
compression (or compressed format)?
* video 1 (a problem video):
[[http://www.datafilehost.com/download-c17f0948.html]]
* video 2 (a non-problem video):
[[http://www.datafilehost.com/download-80f0528e.html]]
Carl looked at the problematic one and advised that I should not have a
problem on my system. I have "solved" the problem by converting the problem
videos to .avi format using a command from Carl (probably also off list).
But I'm still interested if anyone does see a reason the problematic video
should be harder to decode (i.e., play) than the other.
There might be some copyright issues, so I will delete the files in a week or
so.
