For me, mdk 8.0 was ok, in mdk 8.1 even if I upgrade sdl - not.
btw. my mpgs are ok, avis not (only with win32 codecs are they ok)
- so I do not use sdl yet..
xv is broken for me.. X? grrr..
-vo x11 have problems with switching to right modeline (I am going to
fill bugreport in future;)

so now I use xvidix and I am happy - almost:)
