Hahaha. No. This is a thing that only happens on VLC 3.0.9 and up, and not on 3.0.8 or earlier or any other player. It's therefore a VLC problem, not something that has anything to do with my graphics card or cables.Looks like it's on Windows 7, but what is your graphics card ? Which video output module are you using ? Try another video output module
Sample is irrelevant. Every video is affected.Could you share your sample, please?
Yeah, checking that was my first response. But I'm pretty sure that uninstalling and reinstalling the program over and over in order to track the bug down to versions 3.0.9+ would have wiped out any such filters. Also, no such filters only affect the bottom of the image while leaving the top untouched.And check Tools -> Effects and Filters -> Video Effects because you may have some video filter enabled like zoom or crop.
Geforce GT 730I can't reproduce the issue so please, answer my questions about the graphics card
I have no idea what that is. Are you talking about the ports/cables?and the VLC video output module.
It's whatever the newest one from nVidia is. Four hundred and something. I don't remember.Also tell us your video driver version number.
My preferences were reset every time I uninstalled and reinstalled. Preferences are not the issue.the reason why I'm asking you to reset the preferences for testing purposes.
Brilliant. This solved my issue of having cut the right side of my newly recorded video. I recorded a session through Snag-it and saved this as mp4. Playing this video in any other player showed up properly but not on VLC until I unticked the 'Fix HDTV height' option.the content (in the screen capture) appears to be captured from a VCR and analog encoded with a vertical buffer dimension (over scan) to hide the head switching line that is seen at the bottom of the video.
an example of a vertical buffer dimension (over scan) in the vertical space 368px encoded versus 360px displayed (8 lines over scanned).
uncheck this to disable "over scan" in the vertical space.
over scan buffers are typically used to hide content anomalies not important to the viewer such as closed captions, macrovision, "VIS" and SMPTE time code located at the top of the frame, and the head switching distortion located at the bottom of the frame caused from VCR playback.
these content anomalies are not typically relevant anymore in todays digital video media as it was 30+ years ago but there are still analog media encoders that follow this established buffer dimension rule and this is why this setting exists in VLC.
I don't see how it could solve your issue for a 368px height as this option only applies when height is 1088pxBrilliant. This solved my issue of having cut the right side of my newly recorded video.

For all those that don't find the advanced preferences at first, check the show settings option 'all' on the lower corner of the preferences box. Just mention it because took me a minute to find it.
Thanx again!
