Full Screen Movie on Video Out TV Display

Hi. I don't know if someone has addressed this question already. But I sure as ** could not find it. I hooked up my Philips 32" digital widescreen flat TV to my iMac 20" via HDMI cable. Everything works fine, except i'm trying to project a movie on the TV while the computer monitor is still doing something else, such as working on photoshop. I've tried several things like drag the movie window onto the TV screen and full screening it on there, but it would show up as a full screen on my computer monitor. I also tried full screening the window on my computer monitor and then dragging the window to the TV monitor with spaces. This method almost works but I am still able to see parts of my desktop when i do this. Is there a way or a program i can download so that i can play a movie on the TV monitor in full screen and work on other programs in the computer monitor??
Any help would be appreciated!! THANKS!!

I didn't mean you should use QuickTime. I figured VLC Player would have similar settings in its preferences and that it would have a +full screen+ command.
For QuickTime, if you go to System Preferences QuickTime pane Update tab, and click on the Install button, it brings up a web page with available QuickTime components.

    FYI, this is the discussion area for the iMac G5. If you have an iMac (Intel) it is not a G5. You should post your question in the Intel-based iMac discussion areas.

  • No sound when watching full-screen movies or TV shows in iTunes after update to 11.1

    After updating to iTunes 11.1, any full-screen movies or TV shows I try to play on my Thunderbolt display with my MacBook Pro have no audio. If I plug in speakers or headphones, I get audio, just not from the Thunderbolt display. Audio works fine from MBP.
    Weird thing is, if I plug in other speakers or headphones and then *unplug* them, the Thunderbolt display's speakers start working again. Every time you start a new show or movie, though, you have to do this again after the full-screen video opens on the display.
    Really weird. I obviously suspect i has something to do with the 11.1 update to iTunes 'cause audio works just fine through the display for iTunes music and other content and for the web and all other apps and games, whether they're in full-screen mode or not.
    Keep checking Software Update hoping to see that "1" badge pop up on the App Store, lol.
    Anyone else experienced this?

    Thanks allen222! I've been banging my head against this issue as well - glad to hear it's fixed in Mavericks - was planning to upgrade shortly.

    When i select the "Full Screen" option in video streams (like youtube, veoh, anything like that) i can do that one(1) time second(2nd) time the screen goes blank and can only exit it with the escape(Esc) button and then i have to restart firefox and again i have my one "Full-screen Ticket"

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • What's with the "Full Screen" movie rentals?

    I"m as ****** as the next guy about the "No HD rentals" issue, but even more ****** off that most of the rentals I'm clicking on aren't just not available is HD, but aren't even available in "Widescreen". All Macs have a "widescreen" display now, and even your iPods, iPod Touch, and iPhone's are widescreen. No one wants to download a rental of a "Full Screen" movie anymore. My God, "300" in Full Screen - What are they thinking? If they want to offer "Full Screen" rentals, it should be an option, like when you go to the video store to buy a DVD, and are offered a "Full Screen" version or a "Widescreen" version. I don't think they even sell Full Screen TVs anymore. I have the same problem with PPV from the cable company... If it is not offered in Widescreen, I don't rent it. The same will be true here. I just never imagined Full Screen would ever even be offered, much less the only option.

    The iTunes store has pretty much everything in widescreen that it can, but as with most televisions and "home theater" setups... Widescreen really doesn't matter. I know that some people prefer widescreen, but I don't. I have a projector not a TV so I have a 20 foot screen and the black lines in most "widescreen" movies eats up 4-5 feet of space. The only movies that come formatted for a widescreen TV in the first place(I am talking about on DVDs) are the Anamorphic Widescreen DVDs. They have a 2.35:1 aspect ratio, but very few DVDs actually have this, most are in 1.85:1 aspect ratio or 16:9 which is actually a fullscreen movie with black lines at the top and bottom.
    As for HD rentals in the iTunes store, this is AppleTV only, and that is not Apple's fault, this is due to DRM. In order for you to play a copy-protected Blu-ray or HD DVD you have to have http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDCP compliant hardware, the apple TV is HDCP, but you computer is not, so therefore Warner Bros/FOX/Sony etc. Can not be guaranteed that you won't be able to pirate their content.
    Most people do not have a widescreen TV, and yes most Computer screen LCDs are capable of just about any resolution, but a lot of people are still in the non-HD zone.
    I agree that many people want HD content, however given how hollywood lost the battle to keep DVDs copy-protected, they have taken enormous steps to protect HD content.....

  • Full Screen Movies

    Hi;
    I have the following code in Python to display my movies:

    I test the requesting browser for the screen width, but this is not optimal. Isn't there a simple way to make width=100%?

    Mmm.. Interesting... because I am using Firefox 2.0.0.4. I am
    also using Firefox 2.0.0.6 on my laptop like you are, and it seems
    to work fine. I guess it don't understand the technical details of
    why full screen will not work on Firefox. What I find interesting
    is that some of my full screen movies do work fine on 2.0.04. I
    wonder if it the Flash Version in which the full screen is
    published? I will try some further testing.
    I am concerned because there are likely many users of earlier
    Firefox versions, and I need to produce a full screen which will
    work no matter which Firefox Version you use.
    Thanks!

    Is your problem that the browser window refuses to display at
    full screen or is the Flash movie itself not showing at it's proper
    size? Knowing that would at least help us know where to look.

  • Full Screen movies do not work in Firefox

    Hi All,
    I am having a problem publishing Flash 8 movies full screen.
    They are fine in Internet Explorer. But Firefox crops the full
    screen so that you only see a portion of the full screen movie.
    I am using Firefox 2.0.0.4, as well as version 2.0.0.6 on my
    laptop. Can't get full screen to work in Firefox most of the time,
    but occasionally it seems to work. Is this a Firefox problem, or
    Captivate problem?
    An example, look at the full screen movie:

  • Using Apple TV/Airplay for a full screen movie and opening new window on laptop

    When I have a full screen movie playing on my TV in AirPlay dual screen mode, and I open a new Safari window or my Mail, the window appears seemingly by default on top of the movie rather than coming up on my laptop monitor.  Is there a spot I can reset the default for new Safari windows and Mail windows to my laptop monitor, so they don't interrupt the movie on my TV?
    Background: my girls love Downton Abbey and Call the Midwife which I find terribly boring, and need to find something to do while the movies are playing rather than fall asleep! And you know what happens if Safari shows up over top of their beloved Downton! 

    it being mirror and many tv's being widescreen 16:9 and the screen of ios device not being widescreen this happen
    most tv's support having top and button chopped or streghed to fill the tv this is something one does with the tv's remote

  • IPad Air display refresh rate for full screen movies?

    What exactly happens if I play a movie on the iPad full screen with a rate of e.g. 24p, 25p or 50i?
    The stated maximal refresh rate is 60Hz.
    Will this rate be reduced when playing movies?
    Or will frames be dropped / interpolated if the frame rate and the refresh rate don't match?
    Or will the movie be sped up / slowed down?
    When using the HDMI adapter, I can see that it always outputs 60p, regardless of the movie frame rate. But maybe this is different on the internal panel.
    Thanks for any insight!

    Should it happen again double tap the screen with three fingers. Then go to settings> general> accessibility> zoom> off.

  • 7.4 changed my full screen view of videos

    I updated to iTunes 7.4 this morning after realizing most of the new features are useless to me who has no iPod or iPhone, but I did see mention of full screen support (and couldn't remember if that was new or not.)
    I played a couple of videos going from command-0 to command-3 and then command-F and back again, getting inconsistent results (ending up with command-F giving me a small video view in an entirely black background.
    Not only that, the thumbnail for one of my videos, changed from its former image to a solid green screen, (although the video still plays when clicked on.)
    I went back to my daughter's PC with iTunes 7.3.2.6 and noted that I have complete control of the same videos from the command-0 setting all the way to command-F (full screen view) and back and forth without weirdness.
    Anyone else note similar quirks with 7.4 full screen support?

    Well, I have solved part of my problem - in Preferences>Playback, I changed "Play movies and TV shows" and "Play music videos" to "in a separate window" and the sizing issue seems to have settled down. Command-F seems to have a toggle action.
    Choosing Command-0, command-1, command-2, command-3 steps up from smallest size to "fit to screen" size and then command-F takes you to full screen mode. but hitting command-F again then takes you back to "double size (command-2) although the menu shows View>Fit to screen command-3 as selected. Weird.
    Choosing one of the other selections, say double size (command-2) repeatedly just sets that size on the first attempt and then on later repeats of command-2 it just flashed the "View" menu item without toggling to another size (and continues to display View>Double size command-2 as it should.
    So the remaining question I guess is how to get my thumbnail view back from the green screen. How is that image selected anyway? It doesn't appear to be the first frame of the video necessarily.
    And here I am back later editing this after reading the iTunes Help stuff. I fixed this by control-clicking on the frame I liked and then selecting "Set Poster Frame" from the dropdown.
    So overall, not much to complain about other than the weirdness with video sizing and command-F

  • How to get video out to display menus and apps...

    I have a 'myvu for iPod', which is a little video screen in your glasses, and it displays "Videos" and "YouTube" clips fine but I can't seem to get it to display videos played in other applications like the 'TED' app, photos, cover art during music playback or the menus for navigation. How can I configure the IPod to play everything on the audio/video out instead of just YouTube and Videos?

    The ipod touch can only output youtube and movies at the moment on an external display.
    It's been complained about for some time
    Only thing that you can do for now is register your dissatisfaction at http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • Everytime i go 'full screen' with a video, a red F pops up in the bottom toolbar (by windows flag) then dissapears when I exit...?

    I was watching a YouTube video and as I pressed the button to go full screen I saw a square pop up in the bottom taskbar, like where the internet explorer and spotify icons are at the bottom of my screen, by the Windows start button. When I exited the video it dissapeared, so it was only up when i was full screen, it was never up there long enough for me to click on it. It was all red except for an italic f, which was white. After I watched a couple more videos, an actual pop up...popped up and said it had a X and said that windows had some kind of run time issue. I x-ed out of that, did'nt press OK.
    I had read some things about the McAffee Security Scan Plus (which had installed with my adobe, just reinstalled it today....actually just got firefox today too-google chrome had not been working right for a while) and I decided to un-install that and it didn't stop the problem. I am wondering if this is something I should worry about? I'm not sure what it is and it has never appeared before. Please help!
