Try the 'fbset' utility to see what modes you have available (read the man pages on it) and maybe create
 a /etc/fb.modes entry for your vidcard && monitor refresh to use the resolution you need.  There are a few pages OTFW about fbdev stuff, do a search for framebuffer modes.

Have you tried mencoder yet? It works great for that sort of thing, RTFManpages on that as well, it IS YOUR FRIEND.
