The VideoLAN Forums

VLC worked great until I updated my Ubuntu to the latest version. Before, it used to automatically size the window to match the size of the video. After the update, it always opens in full screen mode and the video is stretched to match the screen. If you turn he scale option off, it is still full screen, but the video is the correct size. But you have to uncheck the scale box every time you start it up. Any ideas?
