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.)

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.

Applications in full screen with two monitors

Sorry if there is one grammatical error, do not write in English, and I'm using google translator.
The function of the Lion full screen is very good, but I have aserious problem. It turns out that I use my macbook for keynotes, in the role of "Extended Desktop" is often used in DVD videos. Butthe DVD player no native Lion gives the option to show what the monitor that I want to make it full screen. The result is that the videois always on the screen of the Macbook, not the projector. I always liked the DVD player's native mac, but I'm using an older version ofVLC to be able to play DVD on my keynotes in function "Extended Desktop". I found no configuration that gives the option to show which monitor the application must be in full screen.
Is there anything we can do about it?

That's annoying, isn't it?
It's why I quit using iTunes in full screen.
I play my movies in VLC and "maximize" the window so I can keep working on the other display. I don't knwo of any other way aorund it.

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!

Full screen with dual monitors

I have two monitors hooked up to my Mac mini. Both displays are working in non-mirroring. I want to be able to put something in "full screen" on one monitor but I still want to be able to do something via the other monitor. Currently if I set a movie playing on I-Tunes to full screen, the other monitor will go dark.
How can I get the set-up to how I want it?

That's annoying, isn't it?

Full Screen Problem - Dual Monitors - Hulu Desktop

I am using Hulu Desktop with dual monitors. I keep Hulu on full screen on monitor #2. I use monitor #1 for computer use, etc.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to look at an app in full screen mode on monitor #1 and keep my Hulu full screen in monitor #2 at the same time. So if Hulu is playing and I open up a full screen Mail.app...the hulu screen (mon. 2) just shows that grey background.
Apple NEEDS to add a way to make the #2 monitor immune to the spaces functionality. That or make a way so that an app can stay on top of ALL SCREENS not just user-created ones.
I have seen people suggest the, "Right click the app in the dock and choose all screens" but that ONLY works for user-created desktops. It won't make the app be full screen over Mail, iCal, Address book, etc when they make their own spaces window.
Help! :-)\

ITunes Full Screen with Dual Monitor Setup?

This seems like a poor design choice but I can't figure out any way to turn it off. Seems stupid if you can't...
If you have two monitors plugged in and try to watch a movie in itunes (or the visualizer) in fullscreen, it will go full screen on one monitor fine, but it also makes the other one go black and unusable.
Does anyone know a way to make iTunes go full screen in only one monitor without pointlessly rendering my second monitor useless? It would be nice to be able to browse the web or do work on one monitor while having the iTunes visualizer (or watch a TV show) on the other monitor. Quicktime pro does this without any issues.
Thanks.

For your wallpaper drag the window to cover it.
What I mean is that I don't see how you can do what you want, cause when you watch someting full screen you usually don't want to see your wallpaper on your second screen. And that if you want to work on your second screen you won't mind not having it full screen.
QT pro will allow what you want cause it assume that you are working on your movie.

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.

Videos no longer play in Full Screen-why?

My music videos and movies no longer play in full screen. I don't know what I did wrong, but I'll tell you what I did right! They've been playing correctly, and today I went to play a new music video i downloaded from iTunes and I noticed it was a small thumbnail. I checked the others and they all played back the same. I went to my iPod settings to ensure that I had it set up to play in full screen. Can someone help and tell me what (if anything) I've done wrong? Thanks so much. Lori

Unable to watch purchased movies full screen

Using:
Mac Mini G4 1.25Ghz 1GB RAM
Gateway FPD2185W 21" LCD HD Monitor (connected via VGA)
1680x1050@60Hz resolution (native resolution of monitor)
iTunes 7.0.2 (15)
Quicktime 7.1.3 (PRO)
The last 2 video purchases I have made from the iTunes store will not work using the fullscreen display preference in iTunes. The videos bought were "Taking The Wheel", and "Death Race 2000". When I try to play them full-screen, all I get is a black screen. I can hear the audio playing just fine, and I can see the mouse pointer, but no video shows, and the on-screen controls do not appear. The videos work fine in window mode, unless I try to enlarge the window. If I try to do that, the video either goes all black, or goes all white.
I already contacted support, and all they did was gave me a video credit to try and re-download "Taking The Wheel" (I bought Death Race 2000 several days later). Re-downloading the video did not solve the problem, which leads me to believe that it is either a problem with how the video is encoded, or a problem with a recent iTunes or Quicktime update.
Mac Mini 1.25Ghz 1GB Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1GB RAM

Follow-up, if I open the videos with Quicktime directly, they play fine in full-screen, they still don't work set to full-screen in iTunes though.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate. When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet) in full screen mode just fine. When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing. I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse. Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

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?

How to keep Flash in Full Screen on Dual Monitors

Hi,
I have a simple question. What should I do, to make my application (written in Flex SDK 4.5.1) staying in Full screen when I work in 2nd monitor - like Youtube and Euronews player (http://www.euronews.com/news/streaming-live/) ?
I don't know, how should I embed my application correct or add something to source code to make it work? My application is working correct in Full screen mode, I can use keyboard etc. but I'm not able to make this working - it's always going back to normal when it loose focus.
I have read many topics on this forum and internet, so I'm not interested in solutions like: http://flash-full-screen-multiple-monitor.clangen.com/en/ or .dll tricks like http://lifehacker.com/5419028/keep-flash-videos-in-full-screen-on-dual-monitors
If Youtube and Euronews is working with normal Flash (my current 11.9.900.117) there must be a way?
If someone can type code examples (like for a total dummy ), it will be great.
Thank you.

You'd want to ask in the Flex forum or Flash Professional forum, since you CANNOT edit ANY Flash content with Flash Player.

Will this help with windows vista u tube not playing in full screen?

I have windows vista and hadn't seemed able to get full screen to work with u tube. I tried going to google chrome and then to the u tube page. Click on the icon in the address bar that shows www.youtube.com ( It's on the left next to the address ). This shows you view site information. Run you cursor error over each permission on the right. You are allowed to change each permission to allowed by you. I allowed by clicking on each one all but the: locations, notifications, mouselock, and media. When you are done, you may click outside of this box to have it go away. The you tube page will ask you to reload to have permissions take effect. After I did this I also went to the box to customize and control google chrome wich is way up in the right corner either having three small lines or may be a gear box. I clicked on this and went to tools and then clicked on extensions. It will show you google docs, mcafee, or whatever you have. I went down and clicked on get more extensions. This should bring you to chrome web store. The search is up on the left. type in : window expander for youtube and hit the enter key. click on add to chrome next to the window expander appliction. I exited out and went back to you tube. My videos play in full screen. Hope this can help someone.

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.

-> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
