[MPlayer-users] expand (and subtitles, again?)

[Rudo Thomas]

Hi there.

I was just wondering whether it is possible to expand a movie (using vf expand,
that is) to fit the monitor. In other words, to let the height calculate itself
automagically so that the resulting dimensions have the same ratio as the
monitor.

I have found the same problem in the archive:

And a hack to that solves it:

However, the queston is: Is there a standard way to achieve this?

Thanks for any help.

Rudo.
