gnome-mplayer does not play videos in the correct aspect ratio
When I play via mplayer the resolution is perfect. It completely fullscreen. The playback on the other hand is terrible. It freezes and goes in slow motion. So is there a way I can get the resolution and playback to work in gnome-mplayer?

I have tried it in the terminal as you can see from my terminal output:
eltume@G41M-ES2l:~$ mplayer -vo gl /home/eltume/Videos/Super (2010).avi
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('.
I'm afraid you need to enclose the file in quotes:
mplayer -vo gl /home/eltume/Videos/Super (2010).avi
I've tried chaning the aspect ratio. I will try using mplayer and not
gnome-mplayer to play the video.
Yep, in the end it's mplayer that makes all the hard job :-)

Mmmm, couldn't be that gnome-mplayer detects that the current resolution
can cause errors in playback and automatically switches into a more
sensible one to prevent the video slowness?
In addition, have you tried by running gnome-mplayer from console with
-v (verbose) switch?

Yes, as others already told you, try with mplayer and if still having problems with aspect ratio, try to use the associated parameter mplayer - aspect [value].

When I try to watch a video it does not cover the entire screen. Sometimes it is a small box playing in the center when it is full screen other times there are large chunks of black space on both sides of the monitor.

Try the files directly with mplayer on the command line, and provide the output. It should tell you the aspect ratio set in the file and the resolution/aspect ratio that is actually displayed. -- Liam signature.asc Description: Digital signature

From command line you could use something like mplayer -vo xv FILE, mplayer -vo gl FILE. By what you describe it sounds like you're probably using x11 right now. You can use mplayer -vo help to get a list of all video outputs. If you use a GUI frontend for mplayer, there should be a Video Output option somewhere in preferences.
