If it's movie, the menus aren't that important. Open VLC, Click 'Open Medium', instead of choosing the mounted ISO's drive or the DVD drive as root, choose the VIDEO_TS folder within as playback drive. Now mount the ISO as drive (Windows can do this natively). Skip this if it's already an ISO of a non UDF-mastered disk or if you can access the 'VIDEO_TS' folder on the DVD due to a firmware hack etc. If it's a real DVD: Create an ISO from it (u can user for example 'PowerISO' to do this. Preparations for VLC when u cannot access folders on the DVD I dont like the blurry look when the player upscales the video to fit the player.A solution that works in many cases (not all though, in some cases some or all menus or invisible, but still the button locations react to clicks): and fit to player for larger video when maximized. but DONT scale the video to fit the screen. I'd like it to maximize automaticallyĪnother alternative is to maximize every time. on 1080p video it leaves a couple pixels space on all sides. but it doesnt fully 100% fit to the edges of my screen. its just some random position somewhat off to the bottom right.īy comparison windows media player at least makes an ATTEMPT to match the video size when starting. How do I fix all this broken nonsense behavior? it doesnt even center the non-maximized window to fit my screen. so the video is partially off the screen. Is there some config option i can edit to stop this maximizing/large window nonsense?Īnother problem is when starting 1080p videos sometimes it WONT start maximized. How do I stop this behavior? ive scoured through all the options and settings and cant find anything about maximizing/unmaximizing anywhere in any settings. even and I have to repeat the process and being partially off-screen as well and use the right click option to scale the player to video.

scaled to fit the videoīut it always starts fullscreen no matter what.Įven if i unmaximize it.

How to I stop VLC from always starting maximized (I dont mean fullscreen I mean maximized theres a difference)įor example if a video is 720p I want it to start in a smaller non-maximized window.
