caimakale Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I am running the hallowindow videos (videos 1-3) as part of my halloween light show but am having a problem with the video staying full screen. It's totally sporadic as to when it will play in a small window vs full screen. Sometimes it will start in a small window and then jump to full screen part way through the video.Anyone else experience this? Is there a way to fix it?

bob Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I haven't heard of quite that before. There is a known issue where the video player will kick out of full screen mode when a song ends, and then re-enter it when the next song begins, but I've never heard of it not going into full screen mode until the middle of a song.Perhaps try running Windows Update, and also updating Windows Media Player to the latest version applicable to your system? And perhaps see if you have any unnecessary codecs installed for WMP, and if so, uninstalling them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caimakale Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 It wasn't any extra codecs or anything that was the problem. The laptop I am using is new and before loading any LOR software, I formatted the hard drive and installed a clean copy of Windows 7 (including all updates). Aside from LOR, nothing else is installed on it, .I ended up opening up WMP (it was the first time it had been opened) and ended up doing the initial setup of it. Then I reloaded my video file for each of my video sequences, saved them, and rebooted the computer. I'm not sure which step in-particular fixed the problem but after doing everything mentioned above, I didn't experience any further problems.

t.vanhouts Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 It looks like your video is made in a higher resolution then what our projector can.Also make your video's always a WMV file to use with Light-O-Rama.The above was the trouble i had with my video.

paultoole Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 In the LOR sequencer, click onEdit>Preferences>Video PreferencesClick on the button that says: Select Monitor, and drag your mouse to the second monitor (your Projector) and then click; then run the video sequence in LOR. That should do the trick!In preferences, you should also click on video preferences and select full screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
