I just tested it.  I don't have any problem with videos that are
larger or smaller.  I do see a bit of a problem when the videos are a
slightly different aspect ratio... there I get blue bands, etc.  That is
only with -vo xv, though.  With -vo gl (which I normally use) everything
works perfectly.

You can also make the blue bands are black with something like: 
  "-colorkey 0x000000 -vo xv:ck=set"

Probably just a few small sample files, the command-line you use,
some info about your video hardware/Xorg version, etc.  Basically enough
to reproduce the problem.

Then again, maybe it's not something that is entirely fixable.
