No way-- I use fullscreen for the border all the time. The best thing 
about mplayer is that you can get it to do *exactly* what you need it to 
do. If you need full screen + zoom, then specify that on the command 
line. There's no need to consolidate these options.

Get past the learning curve and you'll love it too!
