I will try to answer the rest of your questions tomorrow, and try further tests, but in the meantime I just want to point out that the fullscreen problem that I mentioned happens only if you use vo=xv, not with vo=sdl. sdl apparently (but I am not sure - I didn't look at the code) uses its own mechanism for going full screen, and this mechanism does indeed work, like you saw. But with vo=xv, mplayer needs to deal with going full-screen on its own. The "xv" (XVideo) mode is the most efficient one to use if you have one of the "accelerator" cards out there (e.g., any NVidia card) because all the video scaling is done in the graphics hardware, not through the X-Windows software; Thanks to the XVideo extension, I can view a full-screen video with just a few percent (!) of the CPU being utilized. I believe that "xv" is also the default mode for mplayer. So can you try again with "-vo xv"?
