Yes, you are right that a fit-to-window-rescaling is often necessary. The ffplay code delegates this particular responsibility to the SDL library. My guess is that the developer(s) assumed that SDL has the information to make the best choice between 'video card hardware scaling' and 'cpu software scaling'. So, the ffplay code assumes that a video overlay can always be created that is big enough to hold the entire unscaled image from the compressed stream. ________________________________________________ FFmpeg issue tracker <[email protected]> <https://roundup.ffmpeg.org/issue2079> ________________________________________________
