Does this bugreport relate to
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=673820

Your description sounds like a duplicate to me, and both bugreports
miss a trace of 'mplayer -v $file'

Sorry, these packages are known to cause problems.

please see http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/FAQ#A_recent_upgrade_of_ffmpeg.2BAC8-libav-related_library_packages_.28e.g._libavcodec.29_has_broken_related_software_.28e.g._Totem.2C_MPlayer.2C_VLC.2C_Xine.29,
and replace these packages with the official ones that are supplied by Debian.
