You certainly can't do this with mplayer alone, and you'll have a hard
time doing it at all.  Maybe if you disable XV overlay and OpenGL,
Realplayer might use standard X11 output, then you could use a standard
screen-capture utility.  From there you might use mencoder to crop and
re-encode to some useful format.

Personally, I'd say don't even bother.
