Sorry, don't know why the rest of my email was truncated.

Continuing....

The files play back fine locally in the FE.

I tried recompiling ffmpeg with all options, no change:
 built on Dec  1 2009 15:37:42 with gcc 4.4.1
  configuration: --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-nonfree
--enable-pthreads --enable-libfaac --enable-libfaad
--enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopencore-amrnb
--enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid
--enable-x11grab --disable-vdpau

Mencoder reports the following on the files:
MEncoder SVN-r29973-4.3.4 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team

videocodec: framecopy (640x480 24bpp fourcc=31637661)

The files streamed fine in 0.21 (before Karmic, as well).

Any advice or troubleshooting steps?

Thanks!
Barry
