dual monitor = widescreen video

i've got two monitors with nvidia and xorg set up to have a desktop spanning both montiors. (here's a screenshot to clarify): screenshot

the problem is, whenever i watch a movie, (dvd, mpeg, avi, wmv, basically anything) the movie is always played as if it were in widescreen mode. that is, there are black bars on the top and bottom and the actual movie is all stretched out in between. no matter how i resize the movie always looks stretch out and squished down.

it didn't look like this until i setup the spanning desktop.

here is my xorg.conf if it's any help:

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
