this is wrong
-pp <value> is sent to the codec, unless you also specify -vop pp _or_ the
codec doesn't have built-in pp functionality. so it works wiht m$ mpeg4
dshow dlls too, from mp42 to wmv8

just tried the file you uploaded, seems to be asf demuxer bug
i have no working xine, but it also plays much better with avifile
with mplayer some image corruptions is visible - probably some bad chunks :(
i'll look at it...
