I found the culprit: the XV video output driver. Only mplayer has an output driver (the X11 output video driver) that gives me a proper picture.
Problem: what can I do to make xine, ogle and vlc work? More pressing problem: see the following error message from mplayer, and you'll understand why I want xv to work (any help?): Opening video decoder: [mpegpes] MPEG 1/2 Video passthrough VDec: vo config request - 720 x 480 (preferred csp: Mpeg PES) Couldn't find matching colorspace - retrying with -vop scale...
