Try using "mplayer -identify file.avi" to get the file info (dimensions, aspect, etc) and then TRY:
mplayer -vop expand,scale=1024:-1 <your options> file.avi 
(You should RTFM, the explanations for how to use vop is in there in VERY good detail, better than I could explain! Hint: -1 = autodetect)
Just my thoughts.
