Bug Description

What is expected to happen is when one fullscreens DVD playback of original Antman DVD (not a burn, copy, etc.) it shows the video across the entire screen.

What happens instead is it shows it in the top left side of the screen.

This happened before and after installing libdvd-pkg from Ubuntu repositories.

Occurs with VLC 3.0.0~~git20160226+r63712+37~ubuntu16.04.1 from:
https://launchpad.net/~videolan/+archive/ubuntu/master-daily

Also, I've updated the BIOS to the latest version from the vendor and no change.

This doesn't happen with VLC 2.2.2 on Windows 8.1 (different machine) so it appears a potential linux'ism.
