If mplayer is using the Xv extension, then probably not, since that allows the hardware to draw directly to the screen. You can change the video driver mplayer is using from Xv to X11. This will be slow but uses a normal X11 bitmap instead of the hardware accelerated playback. I believe the mplayer defaults to -vo xv. The option you want is: -vo x11 With this you can take a normal screenshot using import, or whatever. Works well with mplayer and ksnapshot - under KDE's Graphics menu.
