Re: QuickTime fullscreen restriction



Scott:

A couple of ways to get fullscreen without QT Pro:

Use iTunes to playback your video: Just click on the fullscreen button. In iTunes preferences, you can configure video to playback fullscreen automatically. On a related note - a convenient to deliver video (streaming or download) to iTunes is via podcasting. You can link to podcasts delivered in iTunes using the itpc:// url which can be used from simple href tags on any web site. This is a simple way to link to video without using the Object/Embed tags.

As a media author (with QuickTime Pro) you could add an interactive "Full screen" button to your content. This will allow clients to playback your content in QuickTime Player full screen without QT Pro.

Hi, All.
I'm sure this has been said before but it needs to be said again. The fullscreen restriction for non-pro users of QuickTime defies all logic and common sense. I want somebody at Apple to give a good, and I mean GOOD reason for this. I'm a QT evangelist I suppose. I use it because it is powerful and allows me to more than I could with any other media platform. The disabled fullscreen, and Pro Pop-up reminder ruins the user experience that I can potentially create . You are tying my hands. I can understand disabling the authoring aspects, although considering the competitive nature of desktop media at this point in time I don't think it's a very good idea. One would think that saturating the field with as much of QT media friendly media as possible would be a smart thing to do. But what do I know?, I'm not a CEO or business guy. So please in conclusion stop being so stubborn and quit disabling fullscreen mode and adding Pro Pop-up reminders, figure out how to do it another way. QT is my canvas and you guys are breaking my brushes and spilling my paint.


Thanks,
Scott
