The VideoLAN Forums

Oh Wow!!!, Years have passed since i last posted. I cant believe this thing is still here!?

I'm Not Sure how mac handles VLC, they seem entirely different. anyway it seems the the problem solved. Thank Goodness they made it simple, the older version took a lot of effort.

Now all you have to do is go to preference untick the "Resize interface to video size" and there you have it...

Preferences -> all -> Interface -> video
Click teh video main tab
scroll down to windows properties:
enter the video width (e.g. 800)
enter the video height (e.g., 600)
make sure auto scaling is checked on.
Save.
you should be OK.
