Full screen freeze on 24" & 20" (video problems)

When going from a game like C & C 3 or full screen windows or just opening and app that refreshes the screen, I get scrambled video and have to do a hard restart. My wife's 20" crashed today when she tried to play a casino game but I was able to get back to the Finder with a force quit. We have only had these a few weeks but thankfully not had any of the granular problems others have reported.

I have had a plethora of freezing issues on my 20" Aluminum iMac purchased on October 9 from the Apple Store in Nashville. I upgraded to 10.5.X about a week ago and have noticed no change in the frequency or nature of the freezes. I am also using a 21 inch Samsung 215tw monitor as my main screen with the iMac's built in display as the secondary. Is anyone else using a similar setup and if so are you noticing similar errors? Does it change if you lose the second screen? It freezes most often when using Photoshop or when the screen saver activates. Sometimes the screen will just lock up, sometimes Photoshop will become unresponsive and won't reboot after multiple force quits leading me to restart the machine altogether. Other times when the screen saver kicks in the screen will become pixelated and distorted. Other online sources suggest this is a result of faulty, overheating or overclocked graphics cards. Does anyone know if this is the case and if so what is Apple doing about it? I don't want to waste the time of making a Genius Bar appointment and lugging the machine down there just to be given shrugged shoulders. Please help. Thanks.

When I click full screen for Youtube. The video studders but doesnt if i keep moving the mouse.

This problem emerged when Firefox 5 downloaded. Now when I put a video on any site on fullscreen, the video will stutter. But the puzzling thing is if I keep moving my mouse, the video loads fine. I really need help.

I can't believe this hasn't been fixed yet. I am a flash developer, and I just spent about 20 trying to debug a fullScreenController class that I am writing because I couldn't figure out why going to fullscreen mode was completely blank.
Turns out it is the stupid plugin update!!!! By turning off video acceleration my code worked. 20 hours of my life that I will never get back. Thanks a lot Adobe!!!
Now, can you fix this so that people who use my software don't waste 20 hours of their lives, or should I just put a comment on my product that says, "If you want to view this in full screen, right click and deselect "video accelerator because Adobe has an error and refuses to fix it because they are retarded."
Spending time to try and solve complex puzzles is good for the brain. Stems off Alzheimer's I'm told.
But a simple search of the Adobe knowledge base would have saved you 19 hours and 55 minutes of your precious time: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/839/cpsid_83952.html

Video shocks in full screen & freeze of finder when coping

Hi,
The last few weeks a have two problems with my "new" mac book pro (reatina).
1. When I play video's online (youtube or other provider) the play normaly in small screen but start shocking/flashin in full screen mode. It is not a preformance issue, i check the activity log, their is no heavy load active. I have the problem in Safari and in chrome and with multiple video platforms.
2. The other problem is that my finder completely freezes when i copy large files from my hard drive to a USB stick op my time capsule networkdisk. Finder will continue coping but i can not do anything in finder, i only get the "beachball" and have to wait till it is complete.
Anyone tips how to fix this?

It is possible that the white dot problem could be related to one of the sensors on the camera. The sensor(s), some cameras have one and some have three, record the information for the pixel. I know of one case where the videographer was videoing ballet dancers with a black background and noted a few white dots and that was the problem. If over time it repeats and maybe some more start to show up then that could be the cause.
The camera failure could be caused due to heat or doing a lot of recording with the gain turned up.
I'm not saying that is the problem, only that it is one possibility. Why it "disappeared" the way it did is puzzling.

Vidoe in full screen freezes unless mouse is moved in version 27.0.1

I'm running windows 7 64-bit. You tube videos freeze in full screen only when mouse is inactive. This is not a problem when instant streaming Netflix videos or in internet explorer. I did not have this problem when running windows xp on an old machine a few months back. I tried all the troubleshooting steps suggested: started in safe mode, uninstalled/reinstalled, reset, downloaded most recent version, disabled plugins, checked each plugin separately and I still have the problem. I know there were threads on this issue related to version 25 which seemed to suggest this was a know bug in Firefox that was fixed in newer versions, but it is still an issue with the newest version 27.0.1. It has to be a Firefox problem since I don't have this issue with other browsers and I still had the problem in safe mode. I don't want to change browsers but will be forced to if there isn't a solution to this problem. I also made sure I have the most recent plugin versions of : adobe acrobat, shockwave flash, shockwave for director, silverlight, Java deployment toolkit, and java platform (the last two cannot be "always activated" they are set for "ask to activate") I don't understand much about plugins so I don't know if I have what I need or too much - not sure that would address my issue though.

See [/questions/976293]
The bug has a Target Milestone: mozilla30 and thus is still present in the current Firefox release

Quicktime automatic full screen, freezes

About a week ago I started having problems with my Quicktime Player with no obvious cause. When I try to open a video in Quicktime Player, the video automatically goes to full screen and stays stuck on the opening frame. I cannot click anywhere in this screen. The only thing I've found that works is putting my computer into standby mode and starting it up again. When I do this, Quicktime player is open to normal size upon restart but if I hit play, no video shows up (although the counter at the bottom runs).
I have run antivirus and spyware software and updated my Quicktime to 7.6.4 to no benefit. When I visited the Quicktime help website, an embedded quicktime graphic had the same effect (the page loaded, then the graphic went full screen although did animate). How can I fix my Quicktime Player?

To be sure I understand you: this means that I CANNOT have quicktime automatically launch in Full Screen mode. I have to have a keyboard, and press the Ctrl-F.
Between that and not being able to have it auto close, that pretty much eliminates Quicktime from being of any value for my purposes, which is to use it in my theatre environment from my HTPC. I don't want to have to be dragging out a keyboard.

Two Second Skip Switching Between Windowed and Full Screen Modes During Playback YouTube videos

I am finding that every video I watch skips two seconds every time I switch back and forth from Full Screen mode. Happens mostly with 720p videos in YouTube.
Can be replicated by pausing the video (also possible during playback, pausing it was just to determine how long the skip is), switching to Full Screen and back, noticing the two second change on the timer.
Main operating environment is Opera browser on Windows 7 (x86), Flash ver. 11.1.102.55 and 12beta. I have also been able to replicate the problem on Internet Explorer ver. 9.0.8112.16421

I see about 30-80 MB memory usage increase while switching to fullscreen and it is falling back while switching back to normal mode.
I think the "freeing" of the memory is to agressive and produces such "lags."
@Adobe: This should be optimized with the next versions.
Update:
With the Plash Player plugin (Firefox Nightly/Opera Next) it is worse and with Active-X (IE9) it seems to be ok.

How to disable the FULL SCREEN option in the 'Insert Video and Audio' option

Hi,
I've been inserting some MP3's and using an image for pupils to click on to play the sound, the images are 100 pixels by 100 pixels.
The only issue is that I have the grey rectangle 'Full Screen' box over the picture. This is ideal when I put videos on but not necessary when you have just an MP3. Also I've noticed that the 'Styles' option is greyed out and due to that I can't change the
colour of the play button.
I've been inserting MP3's direct from my PC hard drive to the webpage.
Any help'd be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to disable the “Full Screen” button and make other customization when there is an audio file in the page.
By default, when we insert an audio/video file into page via “Insert Video and Audio” button in the ribbon, an OOTB Media Web Part will be added into the page contains
the file you added, the “Full Screen” button is a part of this Media Web Part.
In consideration of you might have other requirements on designing the style, I would suggest you create a custom Media Web Part instead which will enable you customize
the style as you want.
About creating a custom Media Web Part, you can use the <audio> tag:

Adding full screen button to DW Flash video?

When I finish a project, I take the video out of Apple Compressor as a .flv file. I then take this and drag it into an HTML file in DreamWeaver. This brings up the "Insert FLV" window, where I can choose some controls, set auto play, etc. None of the preset controls has a "full screen" button. I'm looking for a way to add this functionality to our web site. Are there either 1) other controls templates that I can download that have this built in or 2) an easy way to add full screen fuctionality to that already existing template? Bear in mind I know little about using the Flash program itself, but I have and I will if I need to manually edit something. Ideally, there would be just some other template that I can download to do this kind of thing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Carl

Thanks for the reply.
I've already thought of YouTube, but our organization's filter occasionally blocks YouTube content, therefore it's unreliable for us to use for our internal viewers (we are a school district)
Your Option 2 doesn't work for us because we don't want to open and use Flash each time we embed something. Our workflow is quick now because it comes right from compressor and goes right to DreamWeaver. The ONLY drawback is that we can't make it full screen, which is what I"m trying to rectify. I don't want to add another program/step into the mix here.
Ideally, the solution to this would be a place I can download a "plugin" template for Dreamweaver to add more options to the drop down list when I add the flv to the web page, that would of course include a full screen button. The other option would be a resource I can use to figure out how to modify the existing Flash settings to use Flash to make a full screen button on that.
Ideas?
Thanks

ICal in Full Screen freezes

Hi,

No full screen button for many flash videos (with the exception of youtube).

I am using windows 8.1. I have updated flash and firefox. I can watch full screen videos on youtube but on sites like thedailyshow.com or southparkstudios.com there is no full screen button (only a cc button). I can find the button in chrome but not in ie or ff.

If I understand correctly, your instructions enable a web page to be viewed in full screen. I'm having trouble viewing videos in full screen. No button exists to expand a video. I can expand any video on any browser on YouTube but the button isn't there when watching videos on sites like dailyshow.com or southparkstudios.com (it's there in Chrome but not in ff or ie, which leads me to believe it's not an Adblock plus, et al issue.
Thanks in advance for your help.

When I enter full screen for a game or video using Firefox the whole "screen" moves to the left, leaving a white space on the right side of my monitor, but the mouse still acts like the image is where it should be, why?

I have the latest Firefix update, and I am using Windows 7 Home Premium. It's annoying, specifically for games because I have to make sure the cursor is to the right (by a certain amount) of the item I wish to click. This issue is only in Firefox, I have tried in Internet Explorer *shudder* and there is no problem, I do not have any web browsers currently installed.

Has anyone else had a problem with the audio not keeping up with the video when switching to full screen on YouTube?

Hi. I have a OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1 Mac Book Air, Processor 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
Has anyone else had a problem with the audio not keeping up with the video when switching to full screen on YouTube?
The video starts out fine, but if I click on the expand icon in the lower right corner of the screen the audio won't keep up.
Refreshing the page don't help at all. In fact, nothing seems to help once it starts.
I did not have this problem at all using Mavericks. The problem started after installing Yosemite.
Any way to fix it?

only $99, i thought it was closer to $175.

Youtube videos lag/freeze on full screen when mouse is inactive, but only in firefox.

I absolutely HATE IE, so I hope we can find a solution to my problem.
Pc info: Win 7 64 bit, 2.9 pentium with 4 gig ram
video: radeon HD 3800
Three days ago I was infected by some malware. While i had it i could not watch videos on youtube in full screen unless i constantly moved my mouse. I uninstalled the malware and it didn't help. I reinstalled videos card drivers (even tried the new beta drivers), firefox, adobe flash, java 32 and 64 bit, and performed these steps: http://techlogon.com/2012/06/04/flash-player-crashes-in-all-web-browsers/
I've reset Firefox, emptied cache in Firefox, and manually deleted all program temp folders I could find. Also, I have disabled all add-ons and plugins, and even ran Firefox in safemode. Nothing seems to work.
There may be a few things I've forgotten that I've tried.

well, in windows safe mode, it seems to play the video in full screen without the mouse moving, but while playing (normal or full screen) it either restarts the video several times or straight crashes the player.

Bug? Menu Bar Not Accessible in Safari After Watching Full Screen Video

Hi everyone,
I have had this Not accessible menu bar problem time to time while using Safari, and I finally figured out what caused it. It always happens right after you go to a full screen video mode, and then get back out, and now when you move the mouse curser to the top, menu bar doesn't show. Then a way to fix is by using the 4 finger gesture to go back to the desktop screen, and come back to safari (not too fast) and menu bar is again accessible. Why is apple not fixing this bugs? I have seen more thread about menu bar gone, so it's not just me.

Hit the escape key to exit full screen.
That may be a "works as expected/designed," but once you've exited Full Screen View, then reenter Full Screen View and play a video in full screen mode, the window switches out of Full Screen to display the video in full screen video mode. It doesn't stay in Full Screen view, like it is the first time around.
EDIT:
Esc exits full screen video mode, but you still cannot access the slide-out menu bar with the button. Repeatedly pressing Esc does not exit Full Screen View, either. This only appears on the first invocation of Full Screen view and video mode. Once you exit Full Screen, the window behaves differently.
Note that we have determined this is only affected by HTML5 video. I have to do some more testing to figure out if it is ClickToPlugin that is causing the issue.
What's a good source for straight HTML5 video?
