I recorded a lecture using zoom. The size of the screen is supposed to
be ( confirmed by vlc) 1250x720 or something like that. But when vlc
displays the movie, it is a square, and the sides of the picture have
been cropped. Since the movie was a blackboard lecture, this crops the
sides of the blackboard.

Is there some way I can get vlc to show the whole frame, not this square
cropped frame?

If I look at the movie in losslesscut ( which I use to trim the dead
space at the beginning and the end of the lecture), I see the full
frame. I cannot see anything in the vlc setup which would be doing this,
but I may have missed it.
Thanks

To see if it's some config setting that's been changed, with vlc closed, try
renaming .config/vlc to .config/vlcold, then run vlc.

I see nothing in those files. However, I transfered the video over to
another computer, also running Mga8, and there vlc runs and shows what it should.
No cropped video. So, something is weird on the first machine. OK.
Thanks. I know where to look now.
