ok, i see the 'problem'...but it's not a problem. the movie is 16:9,
so with vo_xv it looks exactly how it should look on a non-widescreen
tv. vo_x11 has no scaling, so the movie will be shown with the wrong
aspect and thus fill a closer-to-4:3 region of the screen. you may
like this, but it's wrong, and everyone will look tall and skinny...
