New description:

 when playing an mp4 movie the colors fade to grey and come back again to
 normal every few seconds til the movie is finnished;
 but that occurs only when playing with the mediaplayer not with vlc,and
 the cpu goes 100%.
 i'm using the R1A2 rc rev:36447.

 Interesting, I see 2 things:
 1.  Quite a lot of errors from the H264 decoder in the stream.
 2.  The preferred output is RGB24_BIG but we reset to RGB32.

 So some questions.

 1.  Are you able to upload the video or a sample?
 2.  Is your screen set to 24bit?

 From your description I suspect that the RGB32 is being read as RGB24.
 Are you able to test this by changing the screen to a true 32 bit?
