Hi all,
For years I've been using ZOOM only, and didn't even know there was such a thing as SCALE, even though I knew VLC is stuffed with features I'm not using, but today I finally looked into it when I tried to find out how to set up a CUSTOM ZOOM LIST… the idea being to see more than just "quarter", "half", "original", and "double" in the zoom menu.
Well, I never did do that, because during my search I saw some discussion about the SCALE feature and decided to try it out for myself, and I saw that, without my changing anything in preferences, it seems to offer me 9 levels of zoom. Only, since I'm using SCALE, I should say that it's showing me 9 scale levels, but what I'm seeing also looks exactly like 9 zoom levels, and is pretty much exactly what I was looking to set up in the first place when I said "custom zoom list".
So, two questions: what exactly are the differences, if any, between those two words, and secondly, is it possible to fine-tune the 9 levels I'm seeing, either with more levels, or by defining custom levels for the 9 I am seeing? I'm not a VLC noob but I'm a zoom/scale noob
