Hello, attached small patch enabled MPlayer to play widescreen videos (aspect ratio of 16:9). This is pretty useful when you want to play widescreen DVDs with MPlayer ;) The patch adds -widescreen cmd line option and changes mplayer.c so that it passes altered desired screen height to the video driver. Some drivers follow d_height hint, some don't. Windowed modes work just fine with -widescreen, some fullscreen ones do, some don't (I had to modify Xv driver, which I use). Hope you'll find this useful... Regards, Vaclav Slavik
