Like mplayer can't display the frames fast enough. Eg. looks like frame X gets 
displayed but halfway down frame X+1 takes over. Or perhaps some sort 
stop'n'go (ie. tiny "stops" in the flow).

The CPU-load is only ~30-50% and I don't have this issue with DVD's/MPEG's. 
Just DivX 4/5.

BTW: Do you know how to rebuild index' in divx-files permanently? The 
man-pages says I can do this with mencoder... but I can't find any mention on 
*how*?
