[MPlayer-users] zooming

[MMoalem at aol.com]

hi there all - was looking for a forum to post questions but could only find 
this mailing list so i hope i'm in the right place...
i have started using mplayer through the MoviX Distro but the guys there 
weren't sure about the zooming in on the video. I wondered if it can be done 
when mplayer is running so if a film is widescreen i could zoom in (loose 
some from the sides and some of the black strips at the top and bottom - I 
have a 14inch TV as monitor, defently not good for  widescreen films...)
please bare in mind that i'm a complete linux novice so just imagine i'm a 
three years old when you writing back...
My reference to my request are programmes such as bsplayer and zoomplayer on 
windows...
i have an ATI Radeon 7000 and on the mplayer docs it mentioned that such 
cards support zooming in hardware...
please reply directly if you can to mmoalem at aol.com 
cheers
