mplayer seems to play most dvr-ms samples with the wrong aspect ratio by default. Forcing "-vc mpeg12" fixes it, so it must be some interaction with the default 'ffmpeg2' decoder. e.g. with the various samples available, mplayer plays at the following sizes: -vc ffmpeg2 => 1001x480 -vc mpeg12 => 768x576 http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/dvr_ms/Channel%204%20News_Channel%204_20_10_2006_19_00_01.dvr-ms -vc ffmpeg2 => 1002x480 -vc mpeg12 => 1920x1080 http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/dvr_ms/today.dvr-ms -vc ffmpeg2 => 1002x480 -vc mpeg12 => 1920x1080 http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/dvr_ms/test.dvr-ms I also have a sample that gets these results: -vc ffmpeg2 => 720x540 -vc mpeg12 => 1920x1080 Sample mplayer output for default (ffmpeg2) and forcing mpeg12: mplayer http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/dvr_ms/today.dvr-ms MPlayer SVN-r29108-4.0.1 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team Playing http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/dvr_ms/today.dvr-ms.
