Thanks Keith for your great explanation.

The following works great on a PAL television:
-vf scale=720:-2,expand=720:576:::0

To test the xv driver I upgraded from 0.3.6u to 0.3.7d (0.10.5).
I just want to mention that I had to remove the -zoom or else the movie gets very jerky.
This bottered me all the time when I tried the xv driver previously. But now it works great.

Also I had to specify the -fs when using the xv driver or else the picture is moved 6-8pix to the left and I see the myth theme on 
the right.
Now it centers correctly. With the x11 driver it didn't make a difference.

Before I used to vo_fullscreen to toggle from fullscreen to the original size, especially for lower-res movies. Is there a 
possibility to disable/activate the filters on the fly ?
