When playing any widescreen video, mplayer-1.0_pre7-r1 does not display it correctly in fullscreen. I am already using -zoom. Using -vo x11, the video displays at the top of the screen, and the bottom of the screen is left with its previous contents. Using -vo xv, the video displays in the middle of the screen, and there is a black bar on the top of the screen, but the bottom 1/4 or so of the video is missing, and everything below that is left showing its previous contents. Videos that fit the screen ratio work fine. Using -vf expand=640:480 works around the problem, but this is a hack, and doesn't work for videos narrower than 640. I experienced this problem a few months ago when this ebuild became available, and a downgrade to an older version fixed it. Now this is the only version available, and the behavior is identical to the problems I had last time.

Actual Results: mplayer -fs does not display widescreen videos correctly. Depending on the -vo driver used, the video displays at the top of the screen, and the bottom of the screen is not written to (x11, gl2), or it displays in the middle, part of the video is cut off, and only the top of the screen gets a black bar (xv), or it works correctly (gl, sdl) This problem is reproduced identically on two separate systems; one desktop running an NVidia card, and one laptop running an ATI card. Expected Results: With the previous version of mplayer (which is no longer in portage), fullscreen worked correctly for all -vo drivers I have available.

Peter, is this still an issue in the newer versions?
resolving as needinfo
interestingly enough, I have the exact same problem now, using 1.0_rc2_p20090731, xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r2 and xf86-video-intel-2.8.1
