How to disable all window borders from the VLC playback window

Is there a way to make the VLC playback window completely borderless (no title bar, no other borders)?

Ideally, I would like the playback window to be completely borderless and then a separate window that has the controls (play, pause, timeline control, etc).

UPDATES:
I cannot use full screen mode, I would like playback window to be sized the same as the video, which is usually about 300x300 px. Also, I need to be able to position the window anywhere on the desktop.

I'm using the Windows version of VLC.

This would do it :

vlc --no-video-deco --no-embedded-video

Video will stay on top-left on Windows. Add this for aligning:

--video-x=X --video-y=Y

e.g.

--video-x=120 --video-y=300

For command lines : VLC command-line help

Open VLC preferences, goto Video Options --> disable the checkbox 'Window Decorations' Next go to the "Interface options" --> disable the "embed video in interface".

This will play the video in a borderless window (works on Windows as well) the only thing I haven't figured out is how to set the size of that window).

Update: You can force the width and height of the playback window by adding "width=640 height=480" to the shortcut properties in windows (or the command line on other systems for example).
