It does it on all three sample MPEGs I have, the xine logo, and a
DVD I tried.

mpeg, mpeg_block, and mpeg_pes all have the same broken result, namely
the totally pink video.  elem is different but even worse, with no audio,
extreme blockiness, and tons of error messages like:

libmpeg2: stream not demultiplexed ?

It would be useful to have datapoints from other PPC users.  I'll
check a different type of PPC system at work to see if that makes
any difference.
