Yes, I had the same issue. I actually found that Movie Player (totem) actually does a better job in playing then mplayer. (mplayer basically shows garbage/blocks, whereas totem just does a freeze-frame for a second or two when the errors occur). My guess is that during the transfer from camera to disk (maybe using dvgrab??) that video frames are being dropped - possibly due to your capture workstation not keeping up with the firewire/1394 transfer. The fault-mode displayed doesn't seem to what you would normally see because of an encoding issue, but I could be wrong.
