Re: FLASH: OT: Quicktime Fullscreen Projector

[Eric Blanpied]

There's a flag that can be set in a movie to make it open in the player in

"Present Movie" mode. At present the apps which let you set it are Media

Cleaner and maybe LiveStage Pro.


This will cause the Player to black out the screen and monopolize the

processor (more, not completely, since you still are going to want

networking services, etc.) resulting in somewhat smoother playback. It works

even in "non-pro" installations which don't have the "Present Movie" menu

item.


Once you've taken over the screen, just what sort of bandwidth material you

choose to stick there will determine how well the experience goes.


One caveat: Depending on video cards and drivers the player is not able to

do this on all Windows machines. We add support for more cards and drivers

with every update, but it's always a race to keep up with the new releases.



On another topic, has anyone tried Flash 4 in QT5 yet? We've been working

hard on it (and continue to).
