probably related to ticket #1477

[cehoyos]

Reproducible with mplayer -nosound -demuxer lavf, not reproducible with mplayer -nosound -demuxer asf

[richardpl]

And mplayer in that case use ffmpeg codec and not binary one?

In my experiments both mplayer and ffmpeg demuxer looks equally broken, it just that binary codec is smart enough to handle it.

So it would be best if there are more samples that prove that bug is really in asf end not in something else.

[cehoyos]

The following command line shows no visual deficiencies afaict:

$ mplayer -nosound -demuxer asf -vc ffmss2 mss2_speech.wmv

The following command line shows broken output, compare especially seconds 9-11 on the OSD:

$ mplayer -nosound -demuxer lavf -vc ffmss2 mss2_speech.wmv

[cehoyos]

I forgot to add that the broken output matches the output of ffplay and that the decoder returns error values for mplayer -demuxer lavf (but not for mplayer -demuxer asf).
