Vertical scrollbar when playing video with long height

If the total height of the video exceeds the height of the video card, most playback videos scale the video. The video I was playing was 625 w x 1100 h and encoded with xvid. my monitor is 1366 x 768.

VLC scales it by default, but I wish to view it at regular view. I disable the scaling, and the zoom is 100%, but it becomes distorted at certain parts of the video. There are no vertical (or horizontal) scroll bar so I can view the video at regular resolution, and i can scroll down, right to view what cannot be displayed on the screen.

I am having similar problem with windows media player 11. No vertical/horizonal scrollbars to view video at full resolution, even if I must scroll.

Bsr movie lab can play these avi files perfectly. Of course they were created in them. It has a built-in vertical scrollbar that allows the user to view/edit video at the regular size, and scroll down to see parts that are not visible at the current screen resolution.

Separate related question: Is there any software that can make desktop resolution higher than advertised? My laptop is 1366 w x 768 h . One way to test this is to simulate . I have the video memory (1gb integrated intel HD 3000 + nvidia 1gb 525m card) and processing power (4gb ram, intel i5 2.3-2.9ghz quad-core). I could hook up second monitor with a "fake" large resolution with scrollbars and verify the video can play properly.
Can this be accomplished with a "virtual video card"?
