It's a pity.

I already tried without avail. It still looks the same.

I start mplayer with the following command:
mplayer -vo mpegpes -x 352 -y 288 movie.mpg

I get information as follows:

MPlayer CVS-010923-13:50(C) 2000-2001 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS/AUTHORS)

I don't understand the line starting with 'VO:'. What does it mean?
Maybe it will help me in finding a solution for the problem.
