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. Curt- On Monday 25 October 2004 19:01, Curt Howland was heard to say: > Hi. > > Running Sid, using Mplayer to view a DVD.
