Hey there,
does anyone know how to tell mplayer to keep a certain aspect ratio when switching to fullscreen gl2 output? (gf4 ti 4200, nvidia 4191-r1).

I have tried

use xv, it's designed for video output.

Yeah, i'd love to use xv, but i can't seem to get a tear-free picture using tv-out. The only way (so far) has been through setting __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=1 and using gl2 - thus provoking a vblank. I just can't enjoy TV-out with all that ripping and tearing in the middle of the picture. Thanks for the advice though, its good for general monitor-movie-watching.

I get the same problems when using the gl or gl2 vo driver.
Mplayer resizes the video twice:
...(mplayer console output)...
[gl2] Resize: 1152x490 <--- correct aspect
[gl2] Resize: 1152x864 <--- entire screen, wrong aspect

Though if i'm not using the -fs switch it occasionally works correctly.

It is explaning a couple of realy nice option for using the tv-out, even across multiple screens for example two beamers

Good luck.
