this is due to the fact, that most xv drivers/hardware can't downscale, you 
can work around it with current cvs of mplayer by something like this:

mplayer ~/download/samples/Lenny.Kravitz-American.Woman.vob -vop scale=720:404 
-x 720 -y 404 -vo xv -sws 0

This will use mplayer's swscaler to downscale the video vertically to correct 
aspect and hwscaler of xv will then slightly upscale to 800xXXX, this example 
is for anamorphic PAL dvd.

Btw. there is generally no speed to gain by lowering display-resolution of 
hw-yuv-overlays, in reality the overlays even get faster in higher 
display-res.
