[MPlayer-users] Playing 1920x1080 on a smaller display

[koffiejunkie]

Hi guys,

When I try to play a 1920x1080 .mkv file on my notebook (1400x1050), it 
scales down automatically, but the left side of the movie (looks like 
the percentage that would have been off screen if it was full size) is 
just solid pink.

This is using -vo xv and with the fglrx driver (Radeon 200M) but it does 
the same with the radeon and ati modules.

I've tried to zoom and scale it in various different ways, but it 
doesn't want to work.

Anybody knows hy this happens?

Thanks
