The key might be the following lines:

> Marker bit missing before fixed_vop_rate
> [mpeg4 @ 0x85c4fc8]Complexity estimation not supported
> [mpeg4 @ 0x85c4fc8]scalability not supported
> [mpeg4 @ 0x85c4fc8]header damaged
> Error while decoding frame!
> [mpeg4 @ 0x85c4fc8]vop not coded:  0.042  959/959  29%
>  0% 14.6% 0 0 0%
> Broken pipe  43.3 A-V:  0.012 ct:  0.040  1286/1286

PVR-x50 cards generate mpeg-2 data but mplayer's saying it's
mpeg4, do you have auto-transcoding turned on or did you
manually initiate a transcode for the video you're trying?
