Mini-screen on fullscreen?

Postby manflaps » 25 Jul 2009 09:27

Hi there -

I'm going to be using a laptop to watch some low-resolution videos on a 46" LCD, and I was wondering if VLC has an option to specify a resolution that the "fullscreen" obeys. I'd like to have the fullscreen effect (entire screen overlay) but with a specified video output resolution/size. Is this currently supported? Thanks for your time :).

AFAIK, fullscreen is always scaled to the screen.

Well, 'o' key will activate AutoScale.

Use Alt+'o' and Alt+Shift+'o' to make it bigger or smaller.
