First of all mplayer normally forks itself, so seeing two processes is
normal. And I am using your code to test and although I think the
stability could be much improved in your code by checking the state of
the plugin so that your not slamming it so hard. Make sure it is in a
state that can be shutdown. While it is connecting is not a good time.
Have you looked at the DOCS/tech/javascript.txt file?

Also, something else you might want to do is to use the media events
rather that a raw timer... such as onMediaComplete

<embed onMediaComplete="javascript:swapvideo();" name='video1' ....

I even tried your code on my newer version of mplayerplug-in named
gecko-mediaplayer and the code managed to crash it as well, mainly due
to the rapid switching of video without checking the state of the object.
