This is probably caused by the size of the mpeg watched through the decoder. The 350 scales up mpeg's to be full screen and leaves the system set to scale up that video size. So if you play back a bigger video it shows off the edge. I do actually have a fix for this but I am trying to work out how they achieve it so that we can scale videos properly.
Anyway try doing dd if=/dev/video0 of=/dev/video16 bs=64k count=50 and then run mplayer and see if that helps. It should set it back to expecting 720x480.
