When i want to play a video that is bigger than my screen resolution (for example 1920x1080 on my 1600x900 display) VLC obviously reduce the dimension in order to fit the video to the windows (both windowed and full screen) this is the option :"always fit to windows"; fo far so good.
But if I want to zoom the video on the original size,( for example because it's a 21:9 1920x1080 and i want to watch it without the black stripes at the top and at the bottom cropping the edge) i toggle the option fit to windows ( shortcut o) and...(both if I'm on window or full screen
(this is the real problem, that was an introduction)
the video became odd, the screen split in 2: 1 rectangle from the upper left of the screen shows the original size of the film, the other part of the screen freeze and show some still frame of the moment when i've toggled the option. The program itself doesn't crash, it's fully functional and if I enable "fit to window" again it's like nothing happened.
It's impossible to watch a film like this, it's strange that i've noticed this bug since the first versions and nobody have ever tried to do something because it's a common feature on other player, i've searched this formum and the web but apparently i didn't find anything.
if u don't want to read all the above write-up of the story is:"i can't watch any video that's bigger than my screen resolution in its original size".
i notice this on: pc intel core i 5 2th generation 3.1 dual core- 4 3ad, 4gb ram, windows 7 amd hd 5770 or nvidia 1gb, vlc 2.1.3 any codec
notebok intel core i5 3th genearion 2.7 etc,etc, 8 gb ram , windows 8 and 8.1 amd hd 7600m or intel hd 4000, vlc 2.1.2 both 32 and 64x
any suggestion?
