No Full Screen Video on Mac?

[appenz]

I just upgraded my account in order to add videos to my pages. Uploading works fine, but when I am viewing videos I am not able to view them in full screen mode. Full screen is critical for me, as we are viewing the videos at a distance from the screen on a 1920x1200 display, and I hope to upgrade to 2560×1600 soon. No matter how great a movie is, it will look crappy if it only covers 7% of the screen and it is impossible to make out details.

All the videos I watched before upgrading the account (e.g. the sample video at the top of the FAQ post) did work full-screen. Looking at this in more detail, those videos seems to be using the flash player, while the galleries play using the quicktime plug-in (which has not full-screen option).

Can someone help me with a way that allows others and myself to view videos in my galleries in full screen mode? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Yeah, Apple really needs to do a better job with their Quicktime player controls in a browser. Its looking pretty dated.

There is a workaround though that does a pretty decent job at "full screen". Play the HD version of your video, put your mouse cursor around the middle of the size choices on the top line, hold in Control while you scroll forward with your mouse scroll ball. Booya! Instant full screen.
