Right, but the OP seemed to imply he feels compelled to customize
monitorapsect for different movies... It's my understanding that monitor
aspect need only be set to your screen/resolution combination.. Once you
have that correct, Mplayer should scale all movies appropriately
(assuming the movie has correct scaling information to begin with.).
and it's not clear yet whether his older version was still one that
defaulted to 4:3 monitor aspect. Hmm, but since 16:9 seemed to work for
him, I suspect OP has a very strange monitor size/resolution combo
going.. I apologize if this was asked, but what kind of screen is
being used and at what resolution?
