Yes, I've tried -fs.  That doesn't change the behaviour.

But this doesn't solve the problem with the last picture. It looks as though the last picture appears on the screen but only very briefly - nothing like the 4 seconds that the fps rate instructs - before mplayer exits and the screen goes blank again.

Well, adding just "-idle" doesn't work, but adding "-idle -fixed-vo" does keep the last 
picture on the screen until I type 'q' to quit.  Thanks for the pointer.

Thanks,
