I have this problem too, and for now all I can do is use VLC for those cases when I don't want the video stretched, unselecting the menu option "Video -> Always fit Window".

The reason why the zoom option in MPlayer doesn't work is that it belongs to the software scaler, so it has no effect if you have hardware-accelerated video support. I guess we could force some sofware render mode, but then I'd rather just use VLC.

I like MPlayer's keyboard controls though. That's why I would prefer to have this option in MPlayer.
