I have been using various versions of mplayer obtained from svn and I am experiencing a problem with certain types of avi files. When the avi file contains xvid video format and I play the video using a fullscreen option with mplayer the resulting video plays full screen but 1/4 of the video is cut off on the right hand edge of the screen. In this case mplayer says it is using ffmpeg ffodivx to decode the file. If I play avi files with DIV3 content inside them this does not happen. In that case mplayer says it is using ffmpeg ffdivx to play the file. I have tried setting the monitoraspect to 16:9 and using vo xv instead of vo vdpau. I have also tried various combonations of vc or vfm options in an attempt to have it use a different codec on the files. I tried using -vfm dshow,vfw,xvid,ffmpeg but it says dshow and vfw are not available and falls back to using ffmpeg anyway. I am compiling mplayer from source on my x86_64 system on OpenSuSE-11.1 and displaying it to a HDTV using a NVidia GeForce 8200 onboard video chipset. The HDTV is connected via a DVI to HDMI cable. I am using a SVN version of mplayer because of the desire to use the -vo vdpau option. This is with MPlayer SVN-r29746-4.3 Prior to updating today I was using a slightly older version from SVN and with -fs that shifted the video output display down and to the right of the screen leaving black bands on the left and upper part of the screen. It cut off the bottom and right hand edges of the video output. This one no longer does the black bands but still cuts off part of the video. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions about what I could look at? I think because I am doing this on a x86_64 system I am limited in what codecs I have available to mplayer. -- Steven DuChene
