The file is encoded with bad aspect, as the mpeg header says it's 4:3 aspect, 
but it really is 16:9 aspect. This is not our fault. You can override the 
files encoded aspect buy giving -aspect 16:9 on commandline.

Yea, I just wanted to mention that mplayer has advanced aspect code, to make 
sure video is displayed correctly in all circumstances.

in fs it streched the svcd I've thrown at it to fullscreen, which was correct 
in that case, however wmp has no mpeg2 functionality of itself, so this is 
more or less part of the installed mpeg2 filter (that usually comes with a 
software dvdplayer soft).
