Package: mplayer
Version: 1:1.0rc2svn20080706-0.1

Ive noticed lately, files that previously played fine under mplayer and
now generating a huge amount of debug messages about vfw-avi frames.
The actual message is:

[mpeg4 @0xa389c0]Invalid and inefficient vfw-avi packed B frames
detected

This message is printed for every 2-3 seconds of video.  While I
understand the importance of this information to some users, to the
average user this simply means the .xsession-errors file(s) get filled
with spurious output that the average user is never going to see.

This is only a recent change, and presumably a deliberate change to
point out broken vfw-avi files.  What option does someone have with this
file, either put up with all the thousands of warnings, or re-code the
file and still have to put up with warnings during the encoding instead.

The files obviously arent too 'broken', since mplayer seems to play and
encode them without missing a beat, but it is annoying seeing debug
messages constantly in my log files and terminals, depending on how I
use the app.
