Well, this isn't an MPlayer problem then. MPlayer is functioning  
correctly. Can ImageReady or AnimationShop import series of images as  
a video? Because you could compile MPlayer against a JPEG or PNG lib  
and then dump output frames to images, and reconstitute them as an  
animation in one of those two apps. Other than playing around with  
the colorspace, your only other option is to compress the frames. Sorry.

I'm not 100% sure what Windows calls "Full Frames (uncompressed),"  
but as far as standards are concerned, this file fits the bill. This  
is why it's important to have applications that adhere to standards  
(I'm looking at you, Internet Explorer!)

Oh, please don't top-post. In-line replies with appropriate editing  
is preferred.
