Description

My movies are created from DVDs using Handbrake 0.94 in Mac SL, format m4v.

With an old version of mplayer I got this:

Starting playback...
VDec: vo config request - 720 x 432 (preferred colorspace: Planar YV12)
Could not find matching colorspace - retrying with -vf scale...
Opening video filter: [scale]
VDec: using Planar YV12 as output csp (no 0)
Movie-Aspect is 2.38:1 - prescaling to correct movie aspect.

But with MPlayer SVN-r30478-4.2.1 from Mplayerosx rev. 13 (1310), I am getting:

Starting playback...
Could not find matching colorspace - retrying with -vf scale...
Opening video filter: [scale]
Movie-Aspect is 3.41:1 - prescaling to correct movie aspect.

and then a very wide screen. Surely using the menu Movie -> Aspect Ratio set to 2.39:1 fixes screen, but it would be much to have this right with autodetection as it used to be.

This seems to be MPlayer misdetecting the aspect ratio.

Wait for the next test release (with a recent MPlayer build) and if the problem is still there, report the bug to the MPlayer folks: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_where.html
