If the image disortion is 1/4 black, it may be a 4-byte RBG versus
3-byte RGB problem, notably when encoding from non-YUV sources (i.e.
not jpeg). I once wrote a very dirty patch to make PNG -> MPEG encoding
work but it will not apply to recent versions.
Hard to tell more from your unspecific description "won't play properly".
Ah, and don't use too many fancy flags with MPEG1, a lot of them
need higher versions (mpeg4).
Just what came to my mind...
