RE: FLASH: OT: QuickTime Full screen Projector

[Kevin Hays]

Hi Hal,


QuickTime played over the internet at full screen (or rather, 640 x 480

resolution as in your example below) is not for the bandwidth challenged or

timid.  However, to answer your question, the way to play QuickTime at a

specific size is to compress it or save it at the target size or to save it

at half size and then pixel double it.  The best way to do this is with

Media Cleaner Pro  which lets you set the size of the compressed file and

it's playback size.  Pixel Doubling sometimes helps keep file size down but

may introduce some blotchy text or images (you are stretching existing pixel

information).  To do this with QuickTime player, open the movie, choose

"Double Size" (or whatever sizing you want) and then save the movie as a new

name making sure to choose the "Self Contained" option.


Be forewarned, some codecs don't play back well when pixel doubled.


Good luck,

   ..Kevin

Sorry for the OT question, but I can't find documentation on the Apple site

or anywhere else.  I'd appreciate it if there's a Quicktime expert who can

help me with this.


My question regards the kind of fullscreen effect you see here (works on

Mac, QT 4.1.1, not sure if this works in Windows), where Quicktime takes

over the window:


http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/what_women_want/full.html


Do you have to control the QT API through Java to get this effect, or can a

Director track in the QT movie trigger this sort of event?  Are the button

controls inside the Projector (Exit, Start Over) Director objects, or are

they custom-made with QT Java? I'm not a Java developer (though I'm

perfectly willing to launch Code Warrior and roll up my sleeves, if that's

what it takes) and would like to know if there are any other ways to do this

other than through a Java development environment.


I promise I'll be a good boy and not pester the group, once I know where to

begin looking.


Many thanks,


Hal
