DisableComplexStretchesOnConsole specifies whether to enable Zoom Mode 4.

Zoom Mode 4 stretches the video to the edges of the screen, while maintaining the aspect ratio in the middle of the screen. This is typically used to stretch video content with a 4:3 aspect ratio to a screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio.

Note

Zoom Mode 4 may affect video quality on some systems due to increased video requirements. If video quality is unacceptable when testing, try changing the setting: DisableComplexStretchesOnConsole to true.
