Description
I regularly pull video off my DVR onto my computer and play the files with mplayer. Many of these video files (mpeg2) have black bars on the top and bottom of the image. I was attempting to remove the black bars during playback so I can stretch the actual video to the full screen (without black around the edges). I attempted to use the additional parameters preference in the advanced preferences tab to use the command -vf crop=630:360 and found it did not work. I then tried the rectangle option as well which also did not work. Perhaps I am reading the mplayer man pages wrong, but if not it seems mplayer extended is not honoring things entered in the additional parameters field.

You have to use -vf-add, not -vf.

As mentioned above, filters are very probably already set by the other options and mplayer will ignore additional -vf options.
Instead, use the options to manipulate the existing list:- -vf-add to add filters to the end of the chain
- -vf-pre to add filters to the beginning of the chain
- -vf-clr to remove al previous filters
