Viewing Rented Movies in Full Screen

I rented a movie this morning on my home entertainment computer and when I play it and try to go to full screen I hear the movie playing but I don't see it anymore. It will play in the itunes windows but I find it anoying looking at the other stuff on the screen. I've tried different screen resoultions but it didn't help. I'm running itunes 8.2.1.6 on windows vista 64. Any help would be appricated.
Thanks,
Bob

I am having the same problem with iTunes 9. Apple support couldn't help... I reinstalled iTunes 2 times, updated QuickTime (as one of the reason for the problem) but still there is only sound but no picture. Somebody HELO!!!

How to view movies in full screen?

i have a video i want to see in full screen that i made in imovie.. unfortunately when i view it in full screen.. the movie doesnt fit the screen... there are black borders around the clip. so how do i view the video in full screen?

hey there Samirziz,
are you wanting full screen on your Mac or your TV? is your TV 16:9 or 4:3? is your movie 16:9 or 4:3?
4:3= almost square, old technology analog
16:9= widescreen, newer technology ready for digital
pillarbox = bars on side
letterbox = bars on top & bottom
David is right on in what he says, uultimately it will depend on you making the movie & it's DVD(if you burn it to DVD) fit your TV.
4:3 movie > 4:3 DVD = full screen on a 4:3 TV
4:3 movie > 4 :3 DVD =pillar box on a 16:9 TV(if you can't tweak something on your TV-like Zoom, still may cut off a bit on top & bottom)
16:9 movie > 16 :9 DVD = full screen on a 16:9 TV
16:9 movie > 16:9 DVD = letter box on a 4:3 TV (afaik, there's no way to tweak the TV)
iMovie & iDVD work together well & iDVD kinda "auto detects" if your movie is 4:3 or 16:9, then opens in the appropriate format.
good luck, hope this helps

Screen goes to sleep even when viewing movies in full screen mode

Hi, I have adjusted my settings so my screen goes to sleep after 5 minutes which is ok. But it also does this when viewing movies in full screen mode.... Is this a setting somewhere? Thanx!

Welcome to the Discussions!
"When the computer is inactive" or "idle" means when YOU, the user, are doing nothing, neither using the keyboard nor the mouse. So you have to increase that 5 mins in Energy Saver.

Unable to view movies in full screen

I am unable to watch movies in full screen mode. When I try and select it, I am simply taken back to the itunes window, but the movie audio continues. I can watch the movie at any other size. What's going on?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

ITunes movie playlist full-screen on tv for only the first one

Hi,
I am experimenting with getting what's on my MacBook Pro (15" 2ghz quad core, bought 5/11) displayed/played on my HD TV. I have tried all kinds of approaches (XBMC, Plex, Boxee (the software version), Front Row, Miro, Serviio, TV Mobli, Twonky, and who knows what else on the MBP as well as XBMC on an older Powerbook as well as using DirecTV's Media Share) but none are satisfactory. The current approach is to connect the MBP to the TV by a display port to HDMI cable.
The problem I am having is: when using iTunes to play movies on a playlist, I can get the TV to display the first movie as full-screen but when it comes to the next one, I lose full-screen. It reverts back to the original size of the video. When I play the same playlist on the MBP display, successive movies stay in full-screen. (Of the two movies i have tested, the first is an mp4; the next one is an m4v.)
Is there any way I can get movies played on an iTunes playlist to stay full-screen when displayed on the TV?
All of my movies are things I've recorded with EyeTV or otherwise captured or digitized and most are converted to QT. Some are flash, some are Mpegs and I may have a few other formats. Nothing has DRM. I don't have any copyrighted "real" movies; they're all little things (music videos, segment from home movies, etc) I have put together. (Features like "scraping" with Plex for example, are completely worthless/inappropriate for me and otherwise ruin what could be a good approach to dealing with all of my media.)
I would also be curious about anyone's ideas about the best way overall to display movies and pictures from the MBP onto the TV. For streaming video I will just drag a browser window over to the TV and then go full-screen. That works for me. It is important that I keep the MBP display free for the usual computer stuff. I don't want it blacked out or otherwise made useless so any suggestion has to bear that in mind. So far I can do almost all that I want but I haven't settled on the best way yet.
I am ok with having to switch the audio output on the preference pane to the TV when I do this.
I am having one other issue: Sometimes I will lose audio half-way into one of these short movies (3-4 minutes long) on my iTunes playlist. I have dragged the movie window back to the MBP display and it still has no audio. I will then restart that movie and it will play fine on the MBP. I don't know what is going on with that. I am worried that the cable may not be able to carry audio ALL the time but why would I still get no audio when I have dragged the movie window back to the MBP if the cable was at fault? Any ideas on what is going on here?
Many thanks.

EDIT: Please disregard the previous post. I am swimming on vicodan after surgery this morning and did not realize how atrocious my sentence structure and spelling were. Yeesh.
Not sure what the problem is. Using my iPhone 3G and component cable I watched Iron Man in widescreen on my Mitsu 62" tv but when I tried to play Journey to the Center of the Earth it will only play full screen. When I play it on the iPhone it will play in widescreen. Does anyone have a clue here because I sure don't. Thanks. Happy Thanksgiving.

Viewing RAW images in full screen - problem

I have begun to shoot some images in RAW mode with both my Nikon D70 and Nikon D200 - NEF format. I edit in Photoshop Elements, from withing iPhoto so that edited images are saved back to iPhoto.
When I view edited images in full screen mode from iPhoto, the edited version will be shown briefly and then the unedited version pops up. Anyone know what this is all about and can it be stopped?
Also, I am wondering why, when I right-click on a RAW image in iPhoto, one of my choices is "Reprocess RAW" whether I have edited it or not. And there is no choice to "Revert to original" as in non-RAW images.
Marion

I think you are referring to minor color and other editing done within iPhoto. I am talking about cropping and other major editing done in Photoshop Elements. This edited RAW image, by default, is saved back to iPhoto - but NOT as JPEG - where I can view it along with other RAW images I have not processed in any way.
Yet, both edited and unedited images offer me the same option when I right click for the contextual menu - "Reprocess RAW." This is the place where "Revert to Original" appears when this menu is accessed from a JPEG image.
When I use iPhoto edit, which I almost never do, it does indeed save the image as "JPEG image (from Nikon RAW)." And indeed I do then have the option to Revert to Original.
Reprocess RAW works in the same way as Revert to Original. It was just mysterious to me why I was offered the opportunity to redo something I'd not done in the first place.
Thanks for your help.

Can I view rented movies in airplane mode?

Can I view rented movies in flight mode?

As long as they're from the iTunes Store and have completed downloading to your iPad, yes. Once completely downloaded, a network connection should no longer be needed.

I've imported an iPhoto library from a disc to my iPhoto 09 account, but I have to leave the disc in to view the pictures in full screen... Is there a way to import the files to my hard drive?

What exactly did you do?
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

I cannot view rented movies (purchased through itunes) on my iPad2 in-flight

I cannot view rented movies (purchased through itunes) with the Video app on my iPad2 while flying. On a hunch, I purchased in-flight wifi and only then could I watch my rentals. What gives? Any suggestions on how to avoid paying for in-flight wifi is appreciated.

I don't think that he waited a day. From the wording, I concluded that he waited only minutes (during take-off).
I recall seeing this issue before. Apparently there is an issue related to copyright protection with some movies. I stopped flying when I retired so I didn't pay too much attention to the problem. Perhaps a search of the forum will shed more light.

Can not properly view cover flow in full screen in external display

My mac is the new Mac book pro 15.4 inch screen and I connect my mac pro to external display e.g. Samsung LCD monitor 24 inches.
The bug is that I can not PROPERLY view full screen (in external display) for some application e.g. iTunes, and Front Row.
- When I use iTunes, I can not properly view Cover Flow view in full screen (in the external display screen) except the case of mirror display.
- For Front Row, I can not view full screen in external display but only my mac display.
However, for other DVD or VDO players, I can view movie on external display in full screen and I still be able to do other works on my mac screen.
Please let me know how to solve it.

Bad video quality of final product when viewing on computer in full screen

It looks like a picture does when you blow it up and it's a low quality image. Everything I'm reading says the problem would be with the video capture...but I have the same bad quality when I'm viewing the menu! Around all the text on the menu, it's fuzzy and same with my video on the menu. So are my video clips in the movie itself.
I have tried playing it on Windows Media Player, the apple DVD program, and WinDVD and I get the same problem when I view it on full screen.
I assume my family will mostly be playing it on a TV. Do you think it will play properly or worse on a TV? I don't actually have a DVD player myself to test it out. Any suggestions on why this could be happening?
Thanks!

when I started using iDVD, one of the hardest adjustments for me to make was video quality on TV screen vs on computer screen. (I am used to satellite to S-Video TV and HD screens on my computer.)
My camera it a miniDV, and playback via SVideo to an Svideo TV screen is awesome.
I was sorely disappointed when I played the same tape back on the computer. It was grainy/fuzzy, etc. Same with the DVD I made.
But when I played the DVD back on the TV, the image quality was the same as when I connected the camera to the TV - crisp, sharp, video and text.
I've since burned numerous DVDs, and the result is always the same - blah on the computer, sharp on the TV.
As someone else in this thread stated, the average TV is low-res compared to the computer screen.
If I recall the spec correctly, standard NTSC is 240 line, SVideo is up to 500 line. HD is 720 line and higher...ergo an NTSC source is roughly 1/2 the resolution of the typical CPU screen, or 1/3 the resolution of low end HD screens. So yes, NTSC output on your computer screen will always be fuzzy compared to your TV screen.
I think you will likely be very pleased with the DVD when you playback on your TV.

Cursor Disappears After I Return From VIewing Web Video In Full Screen Mode

After I view a video from a web site in full screen mode using Safari v6.0.1 or Firefox v15.0.1, I escape to normal screen mode. When I then try to move the cursor using the built-in trackpad, I am unable to see the cursor anywhere on the screen. I do, however, see some artifacts of the cursor's movement in the text contained in the window and in the text of the menu bar as the cursor passes them.
What can I do to eliminate this "inconvenience"?
