Yeah, I'd say that sinks my theory if it's happening with SD content
and is predictable. I'm not exactly using a recent version of mplayer
(and perhaps more importantly older nvidia drivers). I tend to only
update these things when I have a problem or encounter a media file I
can't play.

If there is a sample that can reliably reproduce this issue perhaps
there is something that one of the devs can look at?
