Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed? For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.

Has anyone an idea where could be the problem or how should I continue? Recoding to mpeg-4 format works but I'd like to try something more without repeatedly reading the disc...
