The "aspect" setting overrides the aspect ratio of the video file. Setting it to 15:9 will stretch videos to completely fill the screen, but they'll be distorted.

A video shouldn't have black borders on all four sides. The only way I can see that happening is if their are black borders encoded into the video.

If the video has black borders encoded into it, mplayer can crop them off. Run "mplayer -vf cropdetect video.avi" from a terminal. The terminal's output will show the appropriate crop parameters for that particular video.

If you want a video to fill the entire screen with no black borders and no distortion, you'll need to crop the video to 15:9. But I don't know any automagic way to do that with mplayer. The following code works, but not automagically.

For wide videos (i.e. 16:9):
"mplayer -vf crop=$((height*15/9)) video.avi"

For tall videos (i.e. 4:3):
"mplayer -vf crop=:$((width*9/15)) video.avi

You'll have to substitute the video dimensions in the appropriate places.
