in media player classic (MPC) it is possible to manually zoom with num key 9.
so i wonder if this is possible with vlc?
Zoom in VLC is done with the Z key. Press Z to zoom larger and shift+Z to zoom smaller. If you repeatedly press Z it will cycle thru all available zoom settings, 1:4, 1:2, 1:1, 2:1 (i.e. one-quarter size to double size).in media player classic (MPC) it is possible to manually zoom with num key 9.

when i press z, it doesnt zoom. it only cycle through zoom settings whatever it is?Zoom in VLC is done with the Z key. Press Z to zoom larger and shift+Z to zoom smaller.

Look under Tools / Preferences / Hotkeys for all manner of keyboard controls.
You can change the hotkey by double clicking it in this list and typing a new choice; for example, you could change zoom from Z to 9 if you want it to work the same as your MPC. ;o)
i have latest VLC 2.0.4 and vista 64Sorry it does not work for you. It works for me; I tested it before posting just to be sure. Please give your VLC version number and your operating system, in case that matters, and let's wait and see if a more experienced person has a suggestion.
when i press o once, then i can change some zoom settings with z. but its nothing like MPC where you can manually change it and the program centers it automatically. when i change zoom settings (which is possible after pressing o once) the picture gets not centered and i cannot manually adjust the zoom the way i want.Just check available hotkeys in VLC menu: Tools > Preferences > ( Show settings - Simple ) > Hotkeys:
- Zoom: "z"
- Toggle autoscaling: "o"
Do they work for you?
what do you want me do with these settings? i just wonder if it is possible to zoom like in MPC?Then there are some settings allowing you to define custom default values:
Tools > Preferences > ( Show settings - All ) > Video: > scroll down to Window properties:
- Video scaling factor [1,00]
- Zoom video [1,00]
Just do not forget to save changes and restart VLC!
but with this setting, i have to adjust with the mouse which isnt accurate.You can also try Interactive Zoom:
"Show extended settings" button or VLC menu: Tools > Effects and Filters > Video Effects tab > Geometry tab:
[v] Interactive Zoom
No.i just wonder if it is possible to zoom like in MPC?
who is responsible for vlc? can someone transmit my message to him? that we want to zoom manually like in MPC with one push of a button...I have just introduced to you the zooming in VLC.No.i just wonder if it is possible to zoom like in MPC?
