Stopping Video from playing full screen

Can someone explain how I prevent a video clip from playing full
screen - seems that dependant on which PC (lapt/desktop) and version
(XP/2003) it either plays full screen or within a predefined rectangle
(which I want).

Have fished around for settings within the video properties - but no
luck.

thanks

Jeff,

Try right clicking the video image,
Choose "Edit Movie object / movie options"
You should see a "full screen" tickbox

Similar issue here. Our version of the problem seems to
exist somewhere among the display settings of the laptop
and the menu options for the projector.

A simple fix which seems to work for us most of the time
is to change the settings in the laptop video card driver
so that the external data projector is the "primary"
display.

What happens for us then is that the laptop screen "auto
zooms" the video clip to full screen (read jaggie and none
of the text on the slide shows) and the external data
projector shows the full powerpoint slide with the video
running at native size.

When we move to the next slide all returns to normal.

Good luck on this one!
