[MPlayer-users] Black strip at bottom of playback screen

[Nitin Madnani]

Hi Everyone

I have been using MPlayer for a while now. I just recompiled it from source
to install it on my new laptop. Everything plays fine but I see a large 
black
strip at the bottom of the screen when anything is playing. I am running 
Redhat 9
on a p4 1.8 GHz with 512 megs of RAM.

Here is the output of mplayer...

$ > mplayer ve_hsu.mpeg
