They must have done something really odd with the video then!  Strangely 
mplayer detects it as MPEG2 (I think) - I was under the impression it 
was H264 - is there any way to force mplayer to use the right format?  I 
had bit of a play about with -pid and -vid (or something like that?) 
options to try and choose different pids, but I didn't really have a 
clue what I was doing, so didn't get very far. :-/

Robert.
