Turn off pixel interpolation when going to full screen mode?

Postby alexp » 25 Apr 2013 02:36

Long story short:
I have a really low resolution video (100x150) that I would like to keep pixelated when I go to fullscreen. It's my understanding that when I blow up a video to a monitor resolution higher than the video resolution, some sort of pixel interpolation is used to smooth out the picture. Is it possible to turn this off and keep the video pixelated? I've seen threads on how to get this interpolation to work better, but not how to turn it off.

If people are asking, "why in the world would you want to do that?" I can go into more details, but I thought it would be better to keep the question brief to start.

Thanks in advance!
