The VideoLAN Forums

I found some much older, unresolved posts in regards to this problem.

Is it possible to have a full screen window that does not stretch the video? When watching a file with a low resolution, the player will up-size it and it gets rather blocky. I'd prefer to watch a smaller video on a black background.

Is it possible to do this?

Thanks

Right click, Video, uncheck Scale.

Much obliged. Thanks!!

Is there any way to change the background color here from black to, say, the window's background color?

No

Would be great to add the possibility to get a black background, if a video doesn't fit exactly in full scrren view. My windows desktop is not so interesting beside the videos. This should not be a real problem to solve, isn't it?
