you'll have to re-emerge mplayer since the libdv update (pain in the ass, I know)
Ok, I simply reemerged mplayer and libdv and it works again, don't know what happened before but now it should be ok for everyone...

I think the problem comes when you update libdv to the new version. A simple solution is to relink the libdv.so.2 to the new libdv.so file. Might not be so good in the long run or with other apps than mplayer?
