1. Full Screen
Most of the time, we look at the videos in full screen. VLC offers two modes of full-screen display: 

• The
  first maintains a menu bar at the top of the screen and a panel on the
  bottom of the screen. It is obtained by pressing [F11].
• The
  second image actually displays video full screen, with a removable
  panel, which hides itself after a few seconds and reappear when you
  move the mouse. It is active by double-clicking on the screen or
  pressing the [F].

But we use most often the videos in full screen, it seems more logical
to set VLC to automatically switch into this mode at each reading of
videos: 

• Go to the Tools menu
• Click Preferences
• Open the Video tab
• Select the Full Screen
• Click Save
