Hi,
You probably have a problem with video overlay. You driver probably
do not support it. Since you didn't provided a dmesg, it's a guess. But,
in these cases, using -vo x11 and -zoom options normally do the trick.
You could try them. Try just with the -zoom option also, in case your
mplayer already selects the x11 driver. Just note that this does have a
impact on videos with higher resolution, such as 720p and 1080p. These
could not play at all, or drop so many frames that they'll be
unwatchable. Another shot is to use vlc, but it will be limited by your
video driver, in the same manner mplayer is.
Cheers,
