Re: Sid: Mplayer ratio question
Ok, Debianites, I found something that works.
mplayer dvd:// -vo scale=854:480
This plays the video in the correct aspect, as well as completely
filling the 854x480 x-window that mplayer opened even without the -vo
command.
mencoder works the same way, as I thought it would. Simply appending
"-vo scale=854:480" to the mencoder command I'd been using created
the correct aspect ratio in the .avi file, which mplayer and XINE
viewed correctly without any special options.
Many thanks, I hope someone benefits from this information in the
future.
