Because you are using an OpenGL output without telling it to support it, e.g. by using -vo gl:yuv=2 or -vo gl2:yuv=2 Either way, using gl2 is strongly discouraged, if you are using gl2 because you can not use gl for some reason better report a bug. > The interesting part is that I had to use gl2 as video output since the standard > one would crash (not only mplayer, but the entire machine simply stops!). Could > gl2 have a problem? And if so, why with the first track only? It has nothing to do with that, but gl probably works if you add swapinterval=-1 to the options. For what I can tell that is a bug NVidia added only recently to their drivers.
