Fullscreen video playback on Windows Media Player 10

[Guest ProphetX]

has anyone gotten video to play using the fullscreen in windows media player 10 on the c500 or smt 5600?

any help would be nice...

some guy with a dopod claims he has it working.

yet

[Guest ProphetX]

well then for the smt5600

Don't you have Menu-Fullscreen on WMP10 :?

[Guest ProphetX]

yeah but the videos never fill the entire screen

[Guest martin]

The best idea is to code a larger video to 176*220 but if you want to actually stretch a small WMV video to fill the screen then use Betaplayer with the ASF plugin :)

i do code to 176x220

wmp 10 automatically shrinks it.

[Guest martin]

You could always use Betaplayer to get full screen.

The only thing I can think of with WMP is to check the registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows Media Player/Video

On the C500 I have the values

Maximum Height=180

Maximum Width=240

I'm not sure why the sizes are bigger than the screen :?

I have not yet figured out how to get it to fill the screen. I have tried to watch movies that I know are 176 x 220 as well as 320 x 240.

Both show up framed...I dont know why...

But then again, I'm happier with betaPlayer...unless it's WMV that I'm trying to see.

thanks encece, i was beggining to think i was the only one with this problem

Just made myself a liar.

I just made a home movie of my son at a karate competition with my still camera.

I edited/converted it to WMV and re-encoded it to PPC side which showed up as 220 x 160.

It is playing fullscreen on my phone with the small exception of the 17 pixels left over.

Hmmmm.....Now I need to find out what is different between this and the other movie.

I dont own a Smartphone but am interested in this post since I am thinking about buying a smartphone. Anyhow, it sounds like if you uncheck "shrink to fit in window" in the options it helps. But you can follow the thread here...
