I first noticed this in firefox, so I tried it in mplayer itself. When I hit F to go to full screen, mplayer goes to full screen, but the actual video stays the same size and the rest of the screen is black. So basically it doesn't stretch the video. This must be some odd problem with mplayer since it works fine in Xine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install mplayer 1.0_pre4-r4 2.play a video, any video 3.push F to go to full screen. Actual Results: mplayer went full screen but didn't resize the video accordingly, as described above. Expected Results: Resize the video to best fit the screen at full screen.

What type of video are you trying to play? Or is this problem a problem you get on all files? At least in the old days, it was impossible to do some actions (resise, fast forward) on some formats/codecs.
Created attachment 34726 [details] Output from mplayer
This is a problem I am having with all file types. In firefox it was with sreamed QuckTime and Windows Media Player files. So far outside of the browser I have tried DivX, mov, wmv, and mpg files, and it consistenly has this problem. I have attached the output of the player from when I played one video clip in case it helps.
There are some output drivers that work this way, you need to use another one. If you are overriding the default (maybe "mplayer -vo something" in an alias?) you need to stop doing it and change it to something else. If you don't it doesn't detect the best default video output driver. do a "mplayer -vo help" and then, for example, "mplayer -vo X11" or "mplayer -vo gl2". Try different ones and see which works best for you.
I finally got around to messing with it again. mplayer -vo gl2 seems to be the only one that works well. The default, xvideo, has some problems with ati drivers. It would be nice if they changed the default so we wouldn't run into this problems, but oh well. Thanks for the help.
