mplayer resolution problem

i was facing this problem when installed MPlayer-1.0rc1 on ubuntu 7.10, the problem was that the video would come up only in the center of the screen even in the full screen mode ,i had installed the player from source . Now there are two solutions for this, the first one works perfectly , but the second one is a little problematic .They are :
1. Create an alias to the mplayer command and place it in the bash configuration file, so the line to be placed in the file is:
alias mplayer='mplayer -zoom 200'
and place this in the file ~/.bashrc . This works fine if u are running mplayer from the command line , i will post the next method a little later .....

Was history ! :)

This blog represents a part of my undergraduate life when I was extremely active. The blog contains about 59 posts and excluding the previous one all the others were written in a span of 6 months ranging from Jan 2008 - June 2008. Which just tells how active I was in those days, and these were times when the Wi-Fi at campus was still in the planning phase and I was using internet over my GPRS enabled ancient Nokia 7610 (using wvdial + rfcomm over bluetooth). So it used to take like 10 minutes to update a post once written. But still never after that period have I written so much. Feels good to think about the intense work I did during the second year which looks simple now, but played an integral role in making me what I am today (if I am something !) !.
