Is it possible to change the aspect ratio (stretch) a movie in mplayer in full screen mode? I have some movies that were in wide screen format and in the encoding where stretched to a bad aspect ratio and I would rather no re-sample the already sample movie which would degrade the quality, but rescale at play time.
You could always convert the format to mkv which doesn't re-sample the actual tracks, but does allow you to add meta-data to the format to tell the player what aspect ratio to use. debs for mkvtoolnix are available at[sources.list entry]:
deb http://www.bunkus.org/debian/unstable/ ./Just install mkvtoolnix and then you can do 'mkvmerge -o output.mkv --aspect-ratio <video track(probably 0)>:<aspect-ratio> original.avi'. The man-page is pretty good.
Alternatively, 'mplayer -aspect <aspect-ratio> original.avi' should work, but then you would have to remember to do that every time you watched the file.
