 distortions? what kind?

Like mplayer can't display the frames fast enough. Eg. looks like frame X gets 
displayed but halfway down frame X+1 takes over. Or perhaps some sort 
stop'n'go (ie. tiny stops in the flow).

The CPU-load is only ~30-50% and I don't have this issue with DVD's/MPEG's. 
Just DivX 4/5.

BTW: Do you know how to rebuild index' in divx-files permanently? The 
man-pages says I can do this with mencoder... but I can't find any mention on 
*how*?

Run mplayer with the -framedrop option.

Being used, so that's not it.

 btw, mplayer is a native player for *BSD that plays divx files very nicely.

Not on this box. I get a lot of distortions using mplayer playing DivX-files 
(encoded with mencoder), while divxPlayer does it nicely... if it don't 
core-dumps, that is.
