And if you want to play the avi files full screen in QuickTime (not the pro=
version), you can do it with an AppleScript. Here's the code to run it on=
your PowerBook display (1) or a second non-mirrored display (2). Open the=
movie before you run the script from the Scripts menu.
display dialog "Which display do you want to show the QuickTime movie on?"=
buttons {"1", "2"} default button "1"
set dispNo to ((button returned of result) as number)
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
--rewind movie 1 -- uncomment if you want to rewind before starting
=ABevent MVWRenfs=BB =ABclass devi=BB dispNo
play movie 1
repeat while (the playing of movie 1 is true)
delay 5
end repeat
=ABevent MVWRexfs=BB =ABclass devi=BB 1
rewind movie 1
end tell
A much simpler script does the trick (at least if you don't have more
than one screen):
tell application "QuickTime Player"
present movie 1
end tell
This is what I have in my Scripts menu.
To install, do the following (in Tiger): go to Applications->AppleScript and:
1) open the AppleScript Utility
Make sure the checkbox "Show script menu in menu bar" is selected.
2) Open Script Editor and paste or write the code for the script.
Save as compiled script with a descriptive name (e.g. "Full Screen")
in ~/Library/Scripts (create the folder it does not already exist).
