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.
Yeah - and personally, I hate it when movie trailers have that "jump
to full screen" encoded in them. Its *much* more effective to put
that control in the user's hands. Its a really stupid feature to put
into a "pro" package, if you want to get any traction with your
format. Apple just has to decide whether it wants QT to be the go-to
internet format, or if it wants to collect $29 from the mac-using
video geeks.
