Re: video size mplayer

You may be using the x11 video output driver which doesn't scale the video. Try using mplayer -vo xv and see if that works. Use mplayer -vo help to see a list of available video drivers.

If it does work, you can make the change permanent by putting vo=xv in your ~/.mplayer/config (create it if it does not exist).

Use mplayer -vo help to view all the video drivers, and try some of them out. sdl or gl may work.

Try to add

Option      "VideoOverlay" "On"

in your xorg.conf in the Section "Device" if it still doesn't work
