+    Multiply the video display size with the given value (default: 1.0). If a
+    non-default value is used, this will be different from the window size, so
+    video will be either cut off, or black bars are added.

+    This value is multiplied with the value derived from ``--video-zoom`` and
+    the normal video aspect aspect ratio. This option is disabled if the

     Moves the video rectangle within the black borders, which are usually added
     to pad the video to screen if video and screen aspect ratios are different.
