I won't argue that the current policy is wrong-headed, but you've got it wrong here:


Full-screen mode is not disabled for non-Pro users. The QT Player's menu item for going to full-screen is. That's it. QuickTime can always take over the full screen, but those using the Player as their interface to QT can't use the Player to put movies into full- screen.

I think most people on this list (I hope) get that distinction; but it's lost on end-users, and for good reason. It's a common feature, one of the most basic in any video player these days. For Apple to restrict this from being used in a simple way after so many years of complaints is absurd.


There are lots of ways to get fullscreen; but as long as a user of the free QT Player cannot open a movie and select "Fullscreen" then these threads will keep coming up. Asking someone to use another product just to make this happen is not an answer.
