The best thing to do with these types of problems is to create a small sample file containing the error. Then if it crashes in an up to date mplayer report the error directly to the ffmpeg dev list; if it only crashes mythtv, reopen the ticket with a link to the small sample file. Small here meaning 5 seconds before and after the problem packet.

Ok, fine. Sorry to be dumb about this, but how would I go about creating a 'small' mpeg from large mpeg? Just the first 1000 bytes? or what?
