A video player that fully loads streaming files?

I have a terrible encoded video. It crashes ffmpeg and is nearly unusable. VLC can play it, it cant transcode it. I manage to find a plugin for virtualdub but theres still an issue with sound. The problem is bad timestamps. It goes ahead 20mins (near the begining), backwards 10seconds at random times etc etc. VirtualDub cant get the sound sync

"The caching in mplayer is adjustable and it can also play flash video (*.flv) if you have the needed library installed (e.g. libgstflva for linux). It is available for a number of platforms.

To set the cache size to 5,000 kBytes you would start it with (assuming you run from the shell)

mplayer -cache 5000 VIDEO.flv

There are other caching options listed in the manual. Most of them can also be set via the GUI."
