Well... Now we are 3 people with the same problem... I can't find anything 
about the version of ffmpeg that is include in myth internal player.  Is it 
a svn version?  Probably a problem introduced with a fix in the avcodec 
library of myth.. May be a dev can take a look at it...

If it's not a recent svn version of ffmpeg, may be a resync can do the job.. 
MPlayer and FFMpeg don't have the problems that the Internal player have.
