Hello,

I want Quicktime to automatically go full screen when it's double clicked on like the Lord of the Rings trailer? Any ideas?

Maybe you could make a link to the movie that will open the movie in a seperate window that has been set to kiosk mode.

Yes, I know how to do that but that requires extra steps. I want it to it automatically when it is clicked on.

Actually, I want this to be on a hard drive and not involved with a browser in any way. Thanks though.

There was a tutorial a while back on how to make a package that contained the movie file and an AppleScript that would play the movie full screen. This would make a single file that, when double clicked, would present the movie full screen. Is this what you are looking for?

Have a look at some of
these AppleScripts.
