Thank you so much. I just fixed the problem. I had been using
-monitoraspect 4:3, but that wasn't working and aparently in my reading
of the manual i missed the aspect option so didn't even know it
existed. But i put that option in and it works fine. I didn't even
know that mplayer could also crop. Very cool, gonna experiement with
that. Thanks again.
