Windows 10: Is there a way to zoom in on specific parts of a video while using a media player?

Is there a way to zoom in on specific parts of a video while using a media player? I often come across videos with detailed images or diagrams, and I'd like to be able to focus on those parts temporarily. Similar to the magnifier feature in browsers or Microsoft Word, I'm looking for a way to zoom in on specific areas during playback without permanently altering the video. Can anyone suggest a media player or a method that supports this functionality? Thank you!

:)

 

Videos are zoomed in on playback on Movies &TV and Windows Media Player as well

No songs or videos in Media player

I have over 1200 songs and about 40 videos, some in phone memory and some in Sd card in my N900. The only way I can play them is to go to the file mgr and bring'em 1 by 1. Same with my videos. Any suggestions is appreciated in advance for getting my media
into the media player so that it s easier to play them and be able to create play list.
