T34 Flyer Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I’m having trouble this year with video in full screen. The first run of the show plays full screen but as it loops it reverts to the small window. Can anyone help? It’s on the correct monitor and fill screen in checked in video preferences.ThanksBrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T34 Flyer Posted December 4, 2010 Author Share Posted December 4, 2010 I have noticed that when the video reverts to play in the small window that if I minimize the click in the tray to restore it goes back to full screen. If that help pinpoint the problem.ThanksBrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me simply bumping it down one notch from "full" did the trick. (I was losing video on the second monitor altogether, unless I clicked in the window...)Not sure if the WMP acceleration setting and the general one noted in the link above do the same thing.

vipzach Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Sorry Tim, I'm not very good with the sequencing stuff, but I try to help with any other stuff that I can!I work in IT and have seen the hardware acceleration do weird stuff. It was just a suggestion, that I hope will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a suggestion, that I hope will help. Definitely worth a try - it's what saved me. I was to the point that I was worrying if I'd have video at all this year, after just buying a new projector and all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
