Display Video

i have a bunch of music videos. the videos are all of different sizes and aspect ratios. i would like to use mplayer or another video player to display them on screen. is there a way to specify the the height of the display whilst keeping the aspect ration?

so something like

for f in .mp4; do mplayer -verticleheight 900px -horizontalwidth adjust according to aspect ratio; done

You can use the -xy option to specify an initial resolution size
