[MPlayer-users] Best way to always scale+expand to 640x480?

[Ed Fisher]

Yes, scale=640:-2 works perfectly.

Now on to the second question.  When I use -vop expand and -subpos 100
(or 90) the subtitles display about 80% of the way down the movie, not
the entire visible area.  That is, the subtitles always overlap with the
video (which I'd like to avoid).

Even more unfortunate, the parts of the subtitles that end up in the
expanded (black) area never get cleared from the screen, so each
subtitle overlaps with the previous subtitles.  Here's a screenshot:

relevant options (in .mplayer/config)

vo=x11
vop=expand=640:480,scale=640:-2
sws=2
subpos=100
nooverlapsub=yes

Any ideas?
