The general rule with gecko-mediaplayer and gnome-mplayer is to present the 
media as close as possible to how it was intended by the website. So if the 
site says to play a video at a certain size, and then they provide video that 
does not match the aspect of the video window, that is really a problem with 
the site.

You might try upgrading to gecko-mediaplayer 1.0.0 and gnome-mplayer 1.0.2 and 
see if that helps, but in general things are working as designed I believe. 

Can you provide a site that shows this problem?

The video is really presenting on the correct aspect of the video file, but, 
some youtube videos are encoded with the wrong aspect ratio.

Is deseirable if we can change the video aspect ratio as on gnome-mplayer (View 
> Aspect > 4:3, 16:9, 16:10 and so on.
