Hey everyone, wondering if it's possible in full screen mode to zoom like 1.5x or 2x so that with widescreen movies or full screen movies it actually takes up the whole screen on my widescreen monitor (there are almost always decent sized bars on the top and bottom or either side). I know it loses some picture and some quality, but I'm fine with that. Windows Media Center lets you do it easily, I just think its a cool function

Thanks!
 
VLC player is excellent for this, my 5:4 LCD monitor doesn't seem as wasteful when i crop everything thats 16:9 to 16:10 (i could crop it to 5:4 or 4:3, but then i'm cutting out a lot of the video itself on the sides, and the quality suffers because i'm zooming in very far), but 16:10 i've found to be a very good balance between screen consumption and video presentation, it now uses like 80% of my screen instead of the 67% before
