It's saying that it's too big for the MP@ML ('main level') profile of 
MPEG2. Which is perfectly true, since your video is following the MP@HL 
('high level') profile :)

It doesn't affect the decoding (which doesn't care about profiles - 
they're only guidelines), and all the internal structures, display 
windows, etc. neither know nor care about it.

At one stage there was a problem in the display code with windows over 
1024 pixels tall on some platforms but that now appears to be fixed.

Yes I get it with the same frequency. Just ignore it. Your problem is not 
related to this message (IMHO).
