For some time now when I select full screen from the menu in MPlayer it expands to full screen but the video size stays the same :/ After toying with it for a while I found out you have to specify both the fs and the zoom option, i.e.

$ gmplayer -fs -zoom movie.avi

Alternatively you can specify it in the config file, i.e.

fs=1
zoom=1

When it’s playing ‘f’ key toggles between full screen and normal size.

I’ve also noticed that when zoom is specified sometimes the video couldn’t keep up when the CPU is busy. When this happens I switch to VLC and it works.
