ZOOM! For love of everything holy please include zoom ability!

you can make full screen but you cannot zoom in 2x - 10x etc

Allows you to zoom into a smaller section of a 4k video or even 1080P and view it fullscreen, great for security playback and other videos where you need to pixel peek .

Open VLC
Window/Video Effects/Geometry/ (Magnification/zoom) enable

then in a video you have a slider to zoom slider scale you adjust it and a reference screen
