The VideoLAN Forums

Hello!

I was unable to fix this matter with my vlc 2.1.5 (running on Windows 7 x64).

On my computer I have a graphic card AMD ATI Radeon HD 7770 and I connected to it three monitors with differents resolutions (2 ports DVI, 1 HDMI).

Reading Windows Screen Resolution, The first (display 1) has a resolution of 1024x768, the second (display 2) a resolution of 1920x1080 and the third (display 3) has a resolution of 1280x1024.

Now, I need to play videos on the Second Monitor (display 2 for directx), and I set up VLC forcing fullscreen on display 2 by selecting fullscreen on start, as video module "DirectX DirectDraw" (".//DISPLAY2") and detaching the video from the main interface.
Now the video runs on the correct display but... it is cropped on the top left of the screen!

How can I do in order to run the video correctly (fullscreen not cropped)?

I've tried searching on this forum but I found nothing about this problem.

P.S.: If I double-click on the fullscreen running video on display 2 two times the video runs correctly (not cropped).

Could you help me???

Some things to check that may, or may not help you...

check the refresh rate of display 2 to ensure that it is 60htz non-interlaced (1080p) Some computers default to 30 htz interlaced for that resolution (1080i) which can cause some problems.
Check to ensure that VLC isn't set to crop, or zoom your video, and that the aspect ratio is set to default in the Video menu of the interface.
Instead of detaching the video playback from the main interface, keep them together. This is kind of a long shot, but detaching the playback window from the main interface may be causing this problem to occur.
If none of these works for you, a workaround is to change the preferences back to their defaults, then manually move the window to the second display after playback begins, and switch it to full screen from there.
