I do not have this options in any config, which are both the defaults one, but |
| 32 |
when I resize the (g)mplayer window with the mouse, the aspect ratio is |
| 33 |
totally ignored. Which is pretty annoying. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Xine, on the other hand, does honor the aspect ratio. When the window is to |
| 36 |
tall or wide, black lines are added until the aspect is correct. |
