I've got the same problem with another ATI card, Radeon 9100 IGP.  I
don't think it's video memory related.  As far as I can tell, it's
problem of the combination of radeon card, driver, and xvideo.

You can verify this by specify "-vo x11" to mplayer and the problem
will disappear, though the image quality may not be as good or your
machine may not be able to keep up.

What video card driver you are using?  I've filed a bug report with
X.org radeon driver.  Make a noise there if you'd like.  The more
people complain, the earlier the problem will be solved. (I've found
people have been complaining for 2 years.)

Here is the link to my bug report:
