No special settings for upscaling here. Mplayer does it all very well with -vo xv the quality is good - very good. I didnt try -vo opengl yet, gonna do that sometime these days. In .mplayer/config i have "monitoraspect=16:9" Otherwise i use freevo´s default settings plus "-fs" for xine i have XINE_ARGS_DEF = '--no-lirc --post=pp:quality=10,expand' I have once seen that xine had those stripes in a 1080p movie i got rid of them with activating deinterlacing. But i use xine only for watching dvd´s. I recommend not to use svcd´s since i never managed to scale/zoom horizontally to fullscreen so the black borders would dissapear at he top and bottom i only got it to stretch those mpg´s so basically i took my few svcds and clipped/reencoded them to 16/9 xvid using avidemux. Anyway svcd´s on a hd screen look crappy ;-)
