So rather than stretch the video horizontally, I'd rather encode it as is and have mplayer stretch it back out on playback. At the moment I have to use the -aspect 4:3 option to do this, so I was wondering whether mplayer supports any other flags in either XviD or ogm files that can make this process automatic.
From the documentation: "MPEG4 has an unique feature: the video stream can contain its needed aspect ratio. [...] This feature can be used only with libavcodec's mpeg4 codec." http://docs.skamp.net/software/mplayer/encoding.html#aspect
So unless you switch to libavcodec's mpeg4 codec, from what I read, I don't think there is a solution to your problem.
And there's no reason not to switch to lavc. From my experience it's same or higher quality than xvid, and much faster. Rich
