i dont think that stuffing macroblocks are allowed _after_ all macroblocks,
the mpeg4 syntax places the stuffing mb in the mb type decoding loop and
it seems like this loop must terminate with decoding a non stuffing mb
which cannot happen after all mbs, that is my interpretation of the spec ...

that is a ffmpeg mailinglist and this is likely documented in the docs
of the repective projects, for mplayer -lavdopts bug=16 might work

In the past you could go to a library and read, borrow or copy any book
Today you'd get arrested for mere telling someone where the library is
