Package: ucbmpeg-play
Version: 2.3p-12
Severity: normal
When I make a movie with ffmpeg, it plays fine in both xine and ffplay.
But if I try to play it with mpeg_play, there is an infinite loop of
error messages like this:
Improper or missing sequence end code.
Real Time Spent (After Initializations): 7.933807 secs.
Avg. Frames/Sec: 50.165072
Improper or missing sequence end code.
Real Time Spent (After Initializations): 7.933807 secs.
Avg. Frames/Sec: 50.165072
Error!!!!
Improper or missing sequence end code.

That line that says "Error!!!" turns up about every 6th set of error
messages.
Curiously enough, this seems to occur only on my AMD Athlon box.
On the Pentium III, I just get the error message once. This suggests
that the infinite loop might be connected with the re-ordering of actual
instructions that occurs in the Athlon core.
Even though the mpeg_play man page warns about the bogus error message,
I suspect the *.mpg file is actually OK, and that the trouble is
in mpeg_play instead. In any case, the infinite loop is definitely
user-unfriendly, as it scrolls potentially informative information off
the screen before you can kill it.
