If I remember correctly this is an issue with the FFmpeg decoder
(probably one of the many slice-rendering issues, in which case
-noslices helps).
Using -vc theora to force the libtheora decoder should help as well
(can be used in config file: "vc=theora,").
Both the latest SVN and the debian-multimedia versions seem unaffected,
too, so the issue has most likely been fixed upstream.
