MBA. 1. 13" lacks when playing movie full screen.

Memory or? No prob. with small window.the movie is downloaded to the MBA. Lion
Thanks Jørgen

I had an older version of VLC and it did not work but I tried the beta version of 0.8.4test1a and it plays everything from h.264,mpeg4,mpeg2,avi,vob,wmv and a few more. The only other things I know I have done is that I have the pro version of quicktime 7.0.3 and I have a codec pack from ColeMedia Codec Pack from http://www.cole2k.net/ other than that I don't know what else I did that made it work.

Playing movie full-screen across two monitors?

I have a PC with a pair of 800x600 monitors side-by-side for a dual-monitor desktop. I want to play a very wide (1600x600) QuickTime movie fullscreen across them both (not simply mirrored), with no window border or Windows taskbar visible. But when I click the zoom box for the movie window, it resizes the window to one display, so that it doesn't touch the other display at all.
I'm not currently using QuickTime Pro; will paying for that upgrade allow me to play a movie "Full Screen" across two screens, or will that still limit the movie to one screen?
Is there any other way for me to play the movie across two displays? (Again, not mirrored - the movie is wide enough to fit both displays.) Is there some other QuickTime movie player that'll do this for me?
(The movie is a pair of eyes looking back and forth. It's for a Halloween display, one monitor per eye.)

How to avoid pop up appearing in the screen middle top when playing video full-screen ?

I created a landing page with embedded video hosted on Vimeo. When I click to play the video full-screen there's always a pop up window in the middle top saying the meaning like Vimeo is playing full-screen, press escape to get out of it. I don't want that pop up from appearing, I am wondering if any code I can put on the embedded video to prevent the pop up ? Thank you very much.

No, as a web developer, you can't tamper with that message. The point is to prevent a situation where the user is trapped in full screen, as would happen if full screen is initiated by the page and the page doesn't provide controls to exit full screen.
If users trust the site in question, they can check the "Never ask me again for this domain" checkbox to avoid the message in the future.
Users can also get rid of all such messages altogether:

If you don't want to install an add-on, you can use the ''userChrome.css'' file instead, but I don't recommend it. In that file, the first line of the style should only appear once at the top.

Scrolling credits are unreadable when played in full screen

yet they look fine when I am typing in the info on the small screen. How can I fix this so the credit font quality is good when showing the movie in full screen?
thanks,
Charlene

I figured it out on my own.. seems that if you have too much info in the scrolling credits, it distorts itself. ARGGHH... had to delete and create a 2nd screen to keep the credits rolling.

How to disable menu bar and dock when playing a full screen game? Like sims 4

i play sims 4 on my MacBook pro and if I go to close to the bottom of the screen or the top the menu bar or dock pops up I was wondering if there is A program or a setting I can use to disable that while in something full screen or gaming

The game itself should already have the option for full screen. But you can go to system preferences dock and check the hid dock option. Then you would have to go to the very edge of the screen to get the dock to reappear.

Dock shows up after 20min when quicktime in full screen

After installing Leopard now the dock shows up after approximately 20 min when playing in full screen mode..... What I did was to put the dock in auto-hide, but it is still quite annoying to be changing it back and forth.
Is this happening to everyone?

Well, if I find the solution I'll be posting it here.... So far this is the worse OS X ever released, I've had problems from the beginning (installing to a RAID) and I am still having problem with applications randomly crashing after Cmd-Q...... But anyways even if the features are not worth the problems, they were worth the upgrade
Good luck

Issue when playing movie on full screen with extended desktop.

I'm running Itunes on Windows and I'm using a dual monitor configuration. When I play a movie and go to full screen, Itunes will go full screen on the current screen but also will set black the second monitor. So, when I go full screen I lost the second monitor. Why!!?
Is there any way to go full screen without touching my second monitor? I usually see movies while I do other stuff in the second monitor.

lame.. but how come its not the same in all cases. if I view
the flash video on nbc.com that will full screen in the extended
desktop, as will youtube
whats the difference in implementation?

A totally different project is played when project is played in full screen view and project is not editable

Hi
I have problems with my imovie 09. After several days of work with an imovie project I was again about to start editing my project after startup of my mac. I played through the project and everything seemed fine, but when a movie clip was moved infront of a still picture instead of after, the whole project became uneditable and unplayable. When trying to play the project in full screen mode a totally different project is played. Shutting Imovie and/or the mac down does not help. In some cases I have managed to get the red cursor moving along in my project. However, no movie is played in the screen in the right hand corner, -it is totally black, and the audio is again from a totally different project. I am not able to export the project as all the export options are grey. Some of the other projects worked fine and some did not, -and the functionality seemed a bit random from time to time after rebooting/ exiting and reentering imovie. My first guess would be that this is a memory porblem. However, looking at my activity monitor it seems that I'm only using 1.73 GB of system memory of a total of 4....I have tried remove old projects and also quite a bit of clips in my library to minimize memory use. Now it seems that all the rest of the projects are working fine, but my current project is still corrupt. I have tried copying the first clip of my project into a blank project, but it will only play in full screen mode, not in the screen in the right hand corner.
I am working on a mac mini with 2.26 Ghz intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
I would be very grateful if anyone out there could help me out...Is my project totally corrupt beyond the point of no repair? Why has this happened, and how is it possible that something like this can happen without any kind of warning?
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply AppleMan1958. Unforunately the playback problem was only experienced in the project described, - all other projects played fine....and I tried a lot of different ways to do it...so I really believe the whole project, including the playback (which did not work in the editing window in the right hand corner either, -nothing was shown there and the red marker line would not move across the project) just suddenly become totally corrupt...However, after deleting the project as described above and installing imovie11 I have done the whole thing over again and completed the project without problems this time.
But thanks for the tip anyway!

Imovie crashes when trying to play on full screen or when i try to upload to idvd any ideas i have reinstalled software?

Imovie 09 when trying to play on full screen the program crashes also when trying to burn using idvd the program crashes. i have tried reinstalling software but get the same problem. Also some of my old projects that were ok before are doing the same, any ideas.

Instead of Sharing to iDVD you want to Share to Media Browser. This will save the movie to a special folder inside of iMovie that you can then see from inside the iDVD program.
Choose Share > Media Browser (it's at the top of the list)
Choose the Large size and let it roll. It will take a while for it to work.
When it's finished quit iMovie.
Open iDVD, Create a new project.
Go to the button labeled "Media" in the lower right hand corner of the iDVD window, and click it.
Just above that is a window with some buttons across the top. Click on the button labeled "Movies".
Inside the window you will see an iMovie star icon, double-click the triangle beside it to see all the movies being shared. Your iMovie project will appear there.
Drag the iMovie project into your iDVD project.
The quality of the final DVD is visibly better, sharper than if you were to Share directly to iDVD. So bypass Share to iDVD altogether and see if it stops crashing.

How do I make multiple videos on one slide play in full screen when selected?

I want to put four short videos per slide and have each play in full screen when I click on them. How can I do this? Thanks

I've figured out to hyperlink to the video in a different presentation, which works. BUT how do I end back on my original slide?

The Firefox window pops up on a regular interval when any other program is being used, even when a film is playing in full screen mode from Firefox.

The Firefox window pops up on a regular interval (I think every 5 or 10 min) when any other program is being used, even when a film is playing in full screen mode from Firefox. It does not happen if Firefox is not running (i.e. it does not start by itself). The OS is Windows 7 SP1 and this begun after installing the Firefox update 5.0.1. Exactly all programs are updated with the latest version, the computer is clean according to Microsoft Security Essentials. Please solve this problem.

Bad quality when play mov or mp4

I want to play mov or mp4 by quicktime. In my laptop it play well but in my another computer the quality for video is very bad!
Following is the features of that computer:
Windows XP Pro SP2
VIA C7 Processor 1500MHZ 512M RAM
Graphics card: VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP
I upload the screen snapshot of this problem on my blog. Please look at the following url:
http://apolloxiao.blogspot.com/2009/11/bad-quality-when-play-mov-by-quicktime.ht ml
Thank you very much!

My first thought was a video card driver because that will produce the streaks across the screen but usually more extreme.
Then it could be hardware related, do you know the history of the computer, as to any recent changes?
I don't really have a solution and don't want to string you along. But I swap around hardware, and me, I'd pull the video card out and make sure it's seated properly in the AGP or PCI slot on the motherboard. If it's not a on-board video card.
You seem to be showing a dual monitor set-up? If so wouldn't the primary be on the right?

Lost all my sound when playing movies and shows from internet

i seemed to have lost all sound when playing movies from internet. i still have "system" sounds and beeps?

The speaker is not that good but maybe yours is defective if you have the volume fully raised.
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted and have a poor contact.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R" or "R".
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.
