You can check out my movieplayer, which I wrote a few month back:
Source code (and exe):
http://users.pandora.be/vge/downloads/MoviePlayer
It uses a 3D, fullscreen graphics mode (1024x768x32)
and scales the movie to fill the screenwidth or screenheight (with respect to the aspect-ratio).
To install, copy the exe anywhere you want.
To use it, right-click a movie-file (avi, mpeg, ...), select "open with..." and select the movieplayer exe.
This is required, because I didn't create an interface to load the moviefile via a nice menu, it just accepts the entire path and filename of the movie via the commandline.
If you don't supply an valid filename (or start the exe on it's own without parameters), then you'll get an error: "You haven't specified a valid file."
It is also able to take screenshots of your movies.
At default, they are placed in the directory: "C:\Movieplayer\Screenshots\", but you can change this at the top of the program (variable: ScreenshotDir$).
