I use mplayer to play my xvids on my tv, through mythtv.
The problem i'm having is this.
If i run with the option -V x11, there is no problems
but if i run with -V xv,
it's like it's widescreen.  So if my xvid is widescreen already (i like 
it like that personnaly, i know a waste of space, but what i like)
so what i mean is mplayer fills up horizontally all the way, but 
vertically it leaves a bottom and top black par, that even if i play a 
fullscreen xvid
still looks fullscreen, and when i play widescreen, it adds to it making 
it look very bad.  I've even tried dvd's and the same problem.  I was 
having the same problem with xine, my preferred player for dvd's, but i 
just had to change the aspect ratio to 4:3.  Haven't figured it out yet 
for mplayer.  Any help?

Thanks.
