The upsidedown video in Winamp is a know problem
(https://trac.xiph.org/ticket/1497)

You can test the video with other decoders to see if it plays better
(VLC, SMplayer)

You can send me the video in private (using for example rapidshare which has a
200mb file limit and 10 downloads for free users) for testing.
