VLC Playback Cropping the Bottom of the Video

Postby Krendall » 19 Dec 2021 06:38

3.0.14; Windows 7

I have a problem where it seems on every video (or nearly every video) the VLC player cuts off the bottom few rows of the video. I've tried searching for solutions, but I'm not even seeing reports of the same problem.

Here is the video played through Media Player Classic:

And here it is on VLC:

As you can see, the watermark is right on the bottom, even slightly cut off, on the VLC playback. What do I change to get the entire video to be in the player without any cropping?

Check Tools -> Effects and Filters -> Video Effects because you may have the crop video filter enabled.

Nope. No boxes are checked and each side is set to 0px.

Sorry to bump, but I've noticed that the height of the video seems to be a factor. The above examples are in 360p. When I download and the watch the same video in 480p there is no crop issue. That's good to know when a higher resolution is available, but still doesn't solve the problem.

You can try another video output module:

You can also try with and without hardware acceleration.

I don't suppose you know what every possible setting change means so I don't end up making things worse?

I should have said, help me like writing "A Complete Idiot's Guide to X," because I am a complete idiot.
