How do I make the DVD player play full screen in my external monitor instead of my laptop?

I just upgraded to Lion, and I have my laptop screen and my external monitor, and every time I tell my computer to play a DVD in full screen, it makes the full screen slide over from my giant external montior to my tiny laptop screen. How do I make it not do this? I would like to be able to watch my DVDs on the larger high-res monitor instead of my tiny laptop screen, but I can't seem to find the right preferences window or something.

With DVD player open, have you check the menu bar > Window > Show/Hide Controller?

How do I get my DVDs to play full screen on a second screen?

I downloaded OS X Lion a few days ago and went to watch a movie on the second screen that is hooked up to my macbook pro. Instead of going to full screen on my TV, the movie moved itself back onto my computer and filled my second screen with a gray picture. Why does it do this, and is ther any way to play a DVD on a second screen in full screen? I have tried mirroring but the movie will not fill my TV screen like it used to with the old system because it is limited to the shape of my computer screen.

This is a general problem with the full screen mode under lion. Every time you bring whatever application in full screen mode the secondary screen is not usable anymore. As workaround you can only switch the primary screen onto you TV screen as long as you watch movies.
I know that this is no final solution but the only alternate is to roll back to SL. (I did so, and now I wait until Apple fix the problem)
Unfortunately Apple devellopers don't watch the community discussions. If you want to inform them about this problem please use the following link:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
I did it also and discribed the problem there. My hope is that if many people do the same this problem gets higher priority and will be resolved by apple devellopers.

How can we make quick time player play all formats like AVI, MKV, MPEG etc?

QuickTime supports many different file types & codecs, but not all. In many cases you can lookup, download & install specific codecs if you need them.

Edu DVD in computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video. How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

Educational DVD added successfully to computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video. How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

Thanks! For whatever bizarre reason for which I have no answer - I sync'd my iPad to my MBP the old fashion way (not iCloud) and the movie showed up just fine. It is Nikon camera 'how to' video. I like to watch them for a better indepth discovery of what the camera can do. The only weird thing about the hard wire sync is that it was placed in a catagory "home movies" which was never there before...actually it showed up in two places "home movies" and TV shows.
So, thanks anyway! Pretty cat!

HT2499 My DVD player has stopped taking discs and the DVD player no longer recognizes the drive. I bought an external player. How do I switch the DVD player from the internal drive to the external?

My DVD Player in my MabBook Pro, System 10.8.2, has stopped accepting discs and is no longer recognized by the DVD driver. I purchased an external Blue-ray Disc player/writer. It is a Samsung. I downloaded their driver so the drive shows up on my desktop. But how do I switch the DVD player over from my internal to my external drive?

In addition to RRFS's advice, please post in the correct forum. This forum is for iMac's, you mentioned you have a MacBook Pro. They're similar but still pretty different hardware.

How can I have small video embeds play full screen?

I have a design with embedded videos (pulling from my photo album).
In the design they fit inside other elements, often at a reduced size.
When I tap them in a presentation, I'd like them to go full screed instead of playing at their "native" embed size.
Tap, full screen play, tap, return to page and pause.
Much like a website does in a "lightbox" mode.
Is this possible?
iPad, iOS 8

How do I get the contact photo to full screen size when receiving a call after iOs 7.1 update..?

how do Iget the contact photo to full screen size when receiving a call after iOs 7.1 update..?

I went to the link. I selected iPHONE. There was a big iPhone icon above the comment box -- so I was absolutely, positively on the right page. I spent five minutes or so crafting a constructive comment as to why I wanted the full photo feature back on incoming calls on iOS7. Then...i noticed the box below the comment area asked 'What operating system are you on?'. And the drop down selection list included every operating system since Job's garage days -- but not one single iOS entry. No iOS entries on an iphone page. Unless I'm missing something, I think anyone writing a feedback comment is wasting his/her time.

Want to play WOW-how do i make the browser windows fill whole screen??

Have been a pc user all my life and just got a MacBook Pro. When i used to connect to the internet the browser window would fill the whole screen. This may seem like a stupid question but how do i make this happen on the mac? And to do the same for things like iMovie maker etc. My son says world of warcraft needs to be played on the whole screen and not just in a small box.
Have tried adjusting the display etc but that makes things look distorted. Is there another way? Help!
Thanks to anyone who helps!

Press Cmd+M if you want to play it in full screen mode. If you want a bigger window for windowed mode just drag the little thngy at the bottom right of your WoW window and you will be able to resize it. Hope this helps

HT3775 how do you extend the QuickTime player play the videos I want to watch which have a different media format on a MacBook Pro?

I'm tying to watch a video which is on a website to help with my revision.
As I try to open it, it keeps coming up with a message saying the format the clip is in is something the QuickTime player doesn't understand!
How do I overcome this so that I can watch the clip?

Based on what you're saying I'm guessing you don't have the iDVD software. But fear not, there's an alternative to iDVD, called Burn and it's free. So downloadn and install Burn, first. Then from iMovie go to Share Menu > Export Movie... and choose Large size. Save the movie to the Desktop. You'll have a .m4v file that can then be burned to DVD using the Burn software.

How do you make an iMovie HD movie full screen in Keynote presentation?

Hey everybody, and Happy Holidays!
I have a presentation tomorrow morning where I will be using a VGA connector to a video projector to present my Keynote presentation. I have tried just about every way I know how to make my imported iMovie HD film full screen during the Keynote presentation, but so far the best I can do is making the slides the 1024 size, which still leaves a black background above and below the movie when it is playing.
Basically, what can I do to make my iMovie film full screen in Keynote?
Thanks!
-Randy

First off, I'd be a bit worried if the movie wouldn't play in Quicktime Player -- that's pretty odd, since QT is essentially what Keynote is using for playback as well.
If you have a new MacBook, then its display's "native" resolution is 1280 X 800, which is pretty much HD (which is 1280 X 720). By way of working through this, I'd first set your screen to 1280 X 800, and then set the slide size in Keynote to 1280 X 720 (which is one of the default sizes, precisely because it fits HD). If you do this, and if you set your movie as wide as it will go and centred, then it will leave 40 pixels at the top and bottom of the display when you play the presentation. There is no way around this, as it is simply the case that the height of the movie in pixels is less than the height of the screen. If you tried to fit the movie onto all of the screen, you'd either have to blow it up so that the top and bottom were at the screen edge, which would cut off the left and right parts of the movie (this is like what is done in "pan-and-scan" or "full-screen" DVDs of theatre films), or you'd have to "stretch" the movie vertically, which would distort it.
Complicating all of this is your projector. Even if it is just mirroring your display, if it is a digital projector, it too has its own "native" resolution, and unlike your MacBook, it is very unlikely to be a 16:9 ratio, but rather a 4:3 ratio (800 X 600, or 1024 X 768). So even if you hook up your 1280 X 800 MacBook, the projector will still at best project a squarer image, which may show up as narrow bands of darkness above and below your "mirrored" display.
In short form: there is no way to avoid the black bands -- they arise because the movie isn't as tall as the display, and there's no way around that.

How do I make a window expand to full screen?

I am using Dreamweaver MX 2004 with Windows XP.
My question is a page from my homepage www.artmanphoto.com
> Portfolio > Business Portraits then click on the Gallery
button. When my web designer built my site there was only two
business portraits and when you clicked on the Gallery button the
window was smaller and did not expand to a full screen display.
Tonight I added a third portrait and the window is still smaller
than the full screen display so you have to use the horizontal
scroll bar to view all three images or you can click on the Expand
button in the upper right corner of the screen to make the window
display full screen. I thought that when I added the third portrait
the and it was displayed on my website that the window would expand
to show all three portraits but it didn't.
Is there a way that I can change something to make the window
with the three business portraits open to full screen when you
click on the Gallery button?
Thanks very much for your help!
