$ mplayer -version MPlayer 1.0pre7try2-3.2.3 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team Interesting that you can scale to values I can't. Maybe it has something to do with the PVR350 Xdriver. Just for kicks I'm going to test the multiple of 8/16 theory out.
I'll give xine a try -- I like the idea of being able to zoom via the remote control vs having to setup config files with mplayer. Thanks for the tuning tip, I'll give it a shot and see if quality improves.
