[SOLVED]Very long lag between fullscreen and window.

Do you have compiz (or 3D effects) enabled? That can cause strange things in smplayer.

About the lag when seeking, this usually can be caused by a large cache (sometimes setting it to 0 makes it to work much faster) or if you use precise seek.

I don't know what is causing the lag to you but in my computer and all other computers where I tested switching to fullscreen and back is almost instantaneous. And seek is also very fast. I've just recorded a video that shows it:

Thank you for reply. It seems there's nothing I can do about it. I was tring to use VLC, but it can't show OSD (time etc.) nor remember play time position ( with extension? ), so I turned back to smplayer.

Now, in the latest version in the svn, if using mpv the option to add black borders is set using a slave command instead of restarting the process, so it's much faster.

This works only with mpv because (as far as I know) mplayer doesn't have a slave command to change the video filters at runtime.
