Play movies full screen using Apple QuickTime 7.2

July 12, 2007 in Media players | Permalink

Screengrab One of the most frustrating parts of Apple QuickTime or RealPlayer was that you had to purchase the full or professional version of the media player, in order to unlock some important features. For instance, you couldn't watch your movies full screen, if you have the basic and free version of QuickTime. That required a £30 upgrade. It is rumoured that the next version of the Mac OS X operating system, Leopard, will ship with a version of QuickTime that will not require an upgrade, to watch movies full-screen. However, there's no need to wait for Leopard..

Apple QuickTime 7.2 is a fairly major upgrade to the media player as this version not only ships with updates to the supplied H.264 video codec, but now enables you to watch your movies full screen. This means you can download a HD trailer and watch that full screen without needing QuickTime Pro.
