A collection of dot M2TS videos that I player with MPlayer have bad 
pixilation and blotches in quite a few sections.  These are
MPEG-2 Transport Stream BDAV Blu-ray format.

Format: AVC
Format profile: High at L4
Format settings: CABAC / 2 Ref Frames

These are the errors:

Lots more repeating after this.

The pixilation / blotches on the screen happens exactly at Changing field 
mode (3 -> 3) between slices is not allowed.

No other player has this problem - only MPlayer.  Can this be fixed please?
