Again changed logic:
-screenw, -screenh - force user video mode
-x, -y - force userdefined prescaling
-bpp - forces userdefined bpp
-zoom - enables prescaling (-x, -y)
-fs - scales image to fullscreen (same as ATI's divx/dvd player)
-zoom -fs - (together) scales userdefined prescaling to fullscreen
So full command line should be:
mplayer -vo vesa -screenw WWW -screenh HHH -bpp BPP -x XXX -y YYY -zoom -fs filename
And you will be able to watch movies in 16:9 format with bold black
border at top and bottom of screen.
