It looks like the Video's got the wrong PID (Or you requested the
wrong PID), as MPlayer is saying it's got MPEG2 on PID 1502, when it
should report H264/x264.

Though it looks like it's also a (possible) problem with mplayer (And
VLC) according to this:

I think the problem is that so far, no codec (on linux) supports MBAFF.
