Default Hardcore Pan-Scan troubles

Hi again, I am having difficulties with pan-scan being reset etc. In videos like this one:
RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting

Depending on various settings the videos in fullscreen get resized in various erorous ways however not one setting was able to give me automatically a video at pan-scan setting 0. Pan-scan is always changed to some default negative value, usually at about -7 percent. Video must be resized manually to reach "true fullscreen" at pan-scan 0. This is so weird.

Remember pan-scan settign doesn't even work right with that video. I don't know how to set anything right with this, please help. Needless to say, normal videos with size for example 640x272 are pan-scanned ok (with p-s at 0).

The video is 4:3, but pixel aspect is 3:2 so, press shift+3 when playing the file.

hey, guess what: I've tried that in the 1st place. The same problems (pan-scan gets to default minus 15 percent). Funnily enough, video in fullscreen gets smaller and smaller as I change the 3 basic aspect ratios at fullscreen repeatedly.

And when changing the video from fullscreen to windowed and then back to fullscreen (and so on) the video gets so small that it is invisible. Changing pan-scan to anything above -100% (negative hundred percent) will eventually show it.

Why would a pan-scan with BELOW minus 100 percent be even implemented, is a mystery to me. It doesn't make sense to make something so small that it's invisible.
I mean think about it.. in reality when something is made smaller than NEGATIVE 100 percent of the original, it disappears - it becomes a black hole which actually gets wider with its event horizont size growing with each negative percentage point added to minus 100.

The point is that changing pan-scan to -100 or below doesn't make sense. I saw the video at -99.5 percent, it was just a few px wide and long. -99.999999 percent would make it 1px wide, I guess. But -100 is impossible. Video disappears. EDIT: Turns out normal BSplayer pan-scan behavior doesn't enable video to get below -30 percent or so. The negative size change below minus 100 percent happens only when switching between window and fullscreen, btw.

The other point is that this is a moot point, since what really doesn't work for me is the default pan-scan value which has to be changed manually to get video sized correctly. Regardless aspect ratio, mind you.

If I recall correctly, problem with repeatedly full screen -> windowed screen and back was mentioned some time ago (maybe more than 1 year, I am not sure)

Yes, and I think it's possible to debug since it happens to me always.
I think the switch from windowed to FS has something to do with the pan-scan problem. When I set the videos to always play at fullscreen from the beginning, the switch is still there (although it switches really fast). That's why the pan-scan is always messed up, even if I set "remember pan-scan" or "remember movie settings" and other stuff.
