Yes, certainly ;) I'm still looking for a clean way to automatically scale
all kinds of movies (for mplayer.sh - mplayer plugin) to the right picture
size.
do you know -vop lavc,expand=784:576:0:50,scale=768:480,dvbscale for a 
clean display of 16:9 divx? ;) (as with current mplayer cvs). Wonder
if there's a clean way to automate this (file type, aspect, and borders
at once) - still don't have an accurately working mplayer.sh for all types
