With nvidia there are always such problems. Your mplayer is using probably some type of hw acceleration, which iscan be sometimes buggy (I've seen good working and buggy nvidia systems as well). A simple x11 output (-vo x11) will probably work.

You can try yet the -framedrop flag. If it don't works, then with a -hardframedrop will also work if you use some lowlevel output driver.

On todays PCs a simple -vo x11 -framedrop is also o.k., and it at least eliminates the problems of the buggy lowlevel things (which are in case of nvidia very probable).

Practically, there are 3 different nvidia drivers:

  • the driver in X.Org
  • the closed-source nvidia driver
  • and there is an opensource clone of the closed-source nvidia as well.

These have different combos. If you aren't happy with -vo x11, you could start to play with them.
