Thank you for you patient help, that worked :-)
To reduce the buffering lag I added --profile=low-latency which appears 
to help.

So my final command to grab the 16:9 direct show video stream "vMix 
Video", crop to down to 4:3, scale to 800x600 and then show it, full 
screen on a monitor of my choice is.....

mpv  av://dshow:video="vMix Video" --osc=no  --no-border 
--geometry=800x600 --panscan=1 --profile=low-latency --screen=2

I would still like to see ffplay have the equivelient command line 
option to '--screen=1'
