trouble to play videos exceed the video resolution : hard to redimension VLC screen

Postby Ron Wolpa » 07 Jul 2015 03:38


Trouble to play videos that exceed the video monitor resolution I am used to employ : 1280 x 1024 ;
Right now I am trying to play a movie which size is 1929 x 2329 , the movie opens too large out of the screen so that I cannot reach the right lower corner to click and drag to fit the monitor resolution.
Am I missing something or I have stumbled on some sort of shortcoming ?
How to play larger videos and overcome this problem ?

Here there are a number of ways, for example:

1. Shortcut Alt + 2 or Shortcut Alt + 3
2. Menu ->Tool -> Preferences -> All -> Video -> Zoom video=0.5 -> Save

all the preferences never open all videos to a fixed sized window neither they do do what their name let's us suppose they do; the info say the meaning of option like 0 or -1 but they don't say what if you enter another number;
whatever you do in the preferences doesn't work as you espect;
every player has features easy to be settled, to choose and to fix the window size and the video size, while VLC team Always says «it's in the preferences» but never and never and really never they spent 1 word to explain and to show in detail how, for example, to have constant height of 800 pixel for every video playing.....
obviously this is the preferences....- Sauro
