That's because the default X video driver XV uses something called screen overlay which you cn't catch in a screenshot, but I won't go into details here (too many red wines :-). You need to use a player like Kaffeine which has a screenshot function (in Kaffeine either File/Save-As or just ctrl-s). Alternatively, in Mplayer Preferences, under Video, change the driver from xv to x11 or xvidix and try again, the video quality may be worse though.
