Full Screen Mode

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: One Week

When I plug my PowerBook into my TV using S-Video, mirror the displays and then try to run MPlayer in full screen mode, it changes the resolution to an NTSC setting so that the display on the TV shows up in black and white. Since I'm in the UK, I'm used to the (superior!) PAL system - how do I stop MPlayer defaulting to using an NTSC resolution? Could a similar system such as in vlc be built in where you don't have to mirror and can choose where the video is outputted? (didn't use vlc in this instance since MPlayer made a better job of playing the .avi with much better AV sync).

Full Screen Mode - Bing80

I'm having the same problem up here in Norway... It's getting kind of irritating having to watch movies windowed and changing the desktop image to black just make it look a bit nicer on the TV.
I truly hope this will be fixed soon.
Otherwise: GREAT APP! I just miss playing SVCDs with it...

Full Screen Mode - dabosq

I was being annoyed by this problem no end. But after some poking around, I discovered that OS X MPlayer uses SDL output, and then I looked at the Linux docs to discover ...
You have to press the "C" key, perhaps a few times, and eventually it will Just Work.

Discovering this made me very happy :-)
