Is it possible to go full screen with the DVD player?

I have a 21" IMac. When trying to play a DVD, I cannot get the movie to go to full screen. I can expand the screen to a larger size, but there are still a sizable margin left over. Very annoying and distracting when trying to watch a movie. I cannot find a full screen button anywhere on the device. Any assistance you could give me with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Catherine Smith aka doccat5

A problem with the DVD player

Hello
I live in Kuwait, and I order a lot of movies from the United states by amazon.com, movie regions differ from USA and Kuwait, so the DVD player must change the drive's region, the problem is that I'm out of times because it's limited. Why is it limited and what can I do to solve this problem, even if I had to use other programs. Thanks.

VLC might work. It doesn't care about region codes.
For other possible options, you might try here.

HT2801 Has anyone else had problems with the dvd player in pre unibody macbook pros?

My 2007 macbook pro has a skrewed up dvd drive. It doesn't seem to matter if the dvd is brand new or badly scratched: iDVD takes several minutes to pop up and several more to recognise that there is a disc present and several more to start reading it. Half the time the drive just spins the dvd around really fast and makes a lot of noise and gets the fans maxed out and then stalls and eventually decides to give up. After giving up on playing the disc it usually has a hard time deciding whether or not to eject the disc! I don't know if its just burnt out and needing replacing or if there is an inherent flaw in the manufacture/design of the drive. Either way it really irritating.

SuperDrives wear out - it seems that yours might be on the verge of a mechanical failure. I'd just replace it, buying a new drive from Other World Computing and installing it yourself (because Apple would charge a small fortune).

How do I watch BBC iPlayer in full screen with flash player 10.1

I was able to watch BBC iPlayer in full screen with Firefox. I can now only watch full screen with IE.
Why can I not watch iPlayer in full screen with Firefox anymore?
== After Flashplayer 10.1 installed

I have tried in safe mode and as expected it makes no difference. I am still not able to view in full screen like IE it just shows a blank white screen. I was able to view full screen with the same extensions before so removing them has not made any difference.
Thank you for your reply anyway.

Connecting to my T6060 5.1 speakers with a DVD player thru Decoder DDTS-100

Hi, I have a DVD player which has 2.1 audio output (left and right), a coaxial and an optical audio output. Can you tell me how to connect the creative T6060 (5.1) speakers with the DVD player. Can I connect the speaker with the DVD player with the decoder DDTS-100 to get 5.1 effect. Will the speakers would be working. Thanks,Jwell

Your speakers should have a cable with 3 plugs on the end (orange, green and black). That plugs into the matching sockets on the DDTS-100, and you set the switch to 5.1. Then you need a lead to connect the dvd and its up to you if its coaxial or optical. For coaxial you can use pretty much any phono to phono lead, which you may already have. Ive got a feeling the DDTS-100 comes with one of each anyway. Thats all there is to it.

How to make netflix go full screen with multiscreen on chrome

i have not touched my netflix since i got mavericks installed because every time i fullscreen the video it never covers the screen entirely.
when i make my chrome window on my other monitor fullscreen there is always a small sliver that seems to be reserved for the IOS toolbar even though with flash and HTML5 video on youtube it envelopes the screen completly. i have no idea why it does this. my only solution i found was to make the individual tab in chrome go fullscreen which hides the searchbar like fullscreening hide's IOS' toolbar but unless i am doing somthing wrong i can barley make that happen on purpose as it always seems to be a graphical hiccup that happens on accident.
i heard of netflix switching to HTM5 which works wonderful on mavericks but i seem to be stuck with silverlight. i can easily remedy this by going out of multiscreen mode but it is a hassle as i must shut down everything i am doing to log out and log in again and while it will make netflix play fullscreen i will still get hit with the inconsistent youtube format that switches form HTML5 to flash at random which the fullscreen html5 will get rid of my main screen which defeats the purpose of dualscreen. so unless there is a way to make silverlight fill the entire screen or make mavericks accept HTML5 or even how to get chrome to fullscreen a single tab on command i am wasting $8 a month because of crappy hardware.
and while i heard netflix works bets on safari and firefox i cant use them because netflix never seems to remember my passwords for other browsers which forces me to change the password every time i want to login elsewhere which is also a hassle.

use the shift key in what way? as i click the fullscrene icon on chrome? as i hit the fullscreen button on netflix? or when i hit silverlight? or when i use it in conjunction with another hotkey you did not mention? please be more explicit and detailed in your solution.
i have had this problem since i got mavericks in October 2013 and have been looking for a solution myself for the past 4 months and have found nothing. maybe i was searching wrong or asking the wrong questions but i doubt i found nothing because i was the only one with the problem. i figured that more experienced mac users and chrome users would have faced the same problem and came up with a solution already using their ingenuity and hopefully would offer me their solutions if i asked directly.
since you responded within 3 minutes of me posting this question and as vague as your reply was you mention the solution requires the shift key in some way i was right in assuming i was not the only one with the problem and that others have found the solution already. no hours or days required to troubleshoot this alien and unheard of technical issue on my behalf since you have done that for yourself in the past 4 months and would only require 5-10 minutes in writing out 8-16 lines of text to explain the solution. possibly 24 lines if you write out the steps as a list.
i would not ask for help here if i found the solution myself but sadly i could not and have to turn to the community for guidance and cooperation in solving the problem, just like how humanity has solved every problem it faced and made the modern world the marvel it is today,though this sharing of information and labor that a social species such as humans would excel at.
so how exactly do i use the shift key in expanding my chrome tab which would make my netflix go full screen with no gaps?

Video full screen with two displays?

I do presentations with my MB Air (currently still on Lion)
I connect the MB Air to a projector via the mini display socket.
In Sys Prefs/Displays I have MIrror switched off so that the projector screen shows an extended desktop.
One display (MB Air) is the system display with Finder menu bar.
My problem is that if I play a video (MP4 using Quicktime player) and select full screen
the video shows full screen on the system display only - the other display is black
What I would like is for the video to show full screen on the second display (projector screen) not the system display (MB Air)
I would like this so that the audience does not see my desktop and me opening files and folders
but only sees the video I am playing full screen on the projector screen.
Is this possible?
many thanks
Pete

I actually just found an option under quicktime preferences to keep fullscreen when player is inactive, and that fixed my problem. Thanks anyway though!

Toggle Full Screen with lingo?

Hi there,
I have just got a Mac mini 10.6.2 and I'm testing exporting mac projectors from Dir11.5 on XP.
What I'd like to achieve is to swap between two states whilst playing the projector.
State 1: Small draggable Windowed state with title bar and Mac Dock / desktop visible.
State 2: Pure 800x600 Full Screen with No Dock or title bar visible.
I am using BuddyAPI successfully to switch monitor screen modes to 800x600 and back again to native res.
My problem is, if I want to hide the dock and title bar, I seem to have to publish with the "Full Screen" checkbox ticked in the publish settings. This means when I switch back to native res windowed mode there is the solid movie background colour hiding the mac desktop and dock (as you'd expect).
Is there a way to turn full screen (black out the desktop and dock) on and off during runtime with lingo?
I know its a long shot, but though I'd check with the pros before assuming it's not possible.
Cheers
Richard Smith

My understanding is that Flash will not allow you to do that.
Full screen mode is invoked only if explicitly requested from
within the flash on mouse events.

I have an IPod 2nd generation I bought from a pawn shop. It worked for a day but now when I try to charge it, it keeps switching back and forth from the large full screen icon of a low battery and a lighting bolt below to the blue screen with the apple symbol in the middle. I had it on charge all night but still dead.

Finder stuck in full screen with black background on one monitor

Just upgraded to Mavericks on launch day and a day or so later when I went to change the new Mavericks desktop backgound with another image, the Finder appears to be stuck in full screen mode, but raising the mouse to the top doesn't reveal the normal drop back to exit full screen. The background is black as well. When looking into what the OS thinks is the background image, it does show the image that I choose, but I can't see it.
I've rebooted and also tried to reset the desktop by going through these steps:
1: Click "Go" at the top of the finder.
2: Hold down the "Option" key and click "Library"
3: Open the "Preferences" folder.
4: Find the file "com.apple.desktop.plist"
5: Rename it to "com.apple.desktop.plist.old"
6: Reboot your computer.
... but this did not resolve the issue. Any ideas?

I don't even have that file in my Preferences folder. It used to be there in Mountain Lion. Now one of my script won't work because of that.
But I don't have similar problem that you described. I can assign different desktop backgroud images just fine.

ITunes 10.4 full screen with Win7-64bit doesn't work correctly.

iTunes 10.4 full screen with Win7-64 doesn't work correctly. I have the Windows taskbar on the left side of my screen. Maximized iTunes is panned to the left.

Same issue here. When the Windows taskbar is position on the top of the screen and then the iTunes windows is maximised, it's position is as if the Windows taskbar is at the bottom of the screen so the top of the iTunes window sits under the taskbar.
For those wanting a workaround, hold shift and right click the iTunes icon in the taskbar/quick launch bar and click restore, at least then you can adjust it to be full screen manually.
System:
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
iTunes 10.4
