Ok, well it seems this comes down to some difference between gmplayer and mplayer. I thought gmplayer was only the thinest of gui wrappers but maybe not. Running "mplayer filename" I get the intended behavior, and it uses the "xv" driver by default. If I run "gmplayer file" from the command line, it still uses the xv driver, but it does not maintain the aspect ratio. ??? -d -- darren kirby :: Part of the problem since 1976 :: http://badcomputer.org "...the number of UNIX installations has grown to 10, with more expected..." - Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson, June 1972
