fullcreen video just in Top left corner.

Postby honzaSL » 13 Jun 2022 11:55

Hi,
I work in a small theater. We use VLC to project videos.

On primary screen (standard 1920x1080) where is control, and secondary screen(projector 4096 × 2160) where is supposed to be fullscreen video, so audience can see. But problem is video starts showing up just in top left corner, instead of fullscreen since last weekend. But for some reason, when I press the Full Screen button 4 times, the video is the right size.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

PC uses Win7.
Video output is DirectDraw.

Sorry, but I don't understand. What do you mean by, "it will up other (and much more important) software"?

Also, you mentioned that this problem only started last weekend if I understand you correctly. To correct the problem run Windows System Restore to wind back the clock to a time prior to the problem occurring. Doing so will uninstall any software you installed after the date you choose to restore to.

Be sure to disable your antivirus software before you perform the restore otherwise it will prevent it taking place.
