Don't you mean 4:3, not 1:1? Also, what kind of display are you  
using? Is it a widescreen TV, or is it something like a computer  
monitor? Also, does the XviD file happen to have an erroneous aspect  
ratio coded into it (MPlayer can do those things)? Does this happen  
with other files? Does this happen only with XviD encoded files?

This might not be a proper solution, but try remuxing the file as a  
Matroska file, and tell it to use the 4:3 aspect ratio on the video  
track. Maybe MPlayer will read that and display it properly.
