I had the effect of these colored bands using xvidix with a G400.
It happens sometimes depending on the video being played.

There are some entries in the MPlayer source tree (directory 'TVout' IIRC).

DirectFB uses the first suiting mode in fb.modes (>= 15bit).
AFAIK mplayer doesn't change the video mode so just put the
desired mode at the beginning of the file.
