Dear Mac experts.......i've got a question about Quicktime:

when i open up an .avi file with quicktime....the window starts becoming smaller and smaller.....it only stops doing this if i click on full screen.. Any idea WHY it is doing this and any idea how i can stop it doing this?

ie....if i open it up to actual size or double size (anything other than full screen)...it starts to become narrower and narrower...until it is about 7 cm long...strange....don't you think?

many many thanks from a confused apple user!

Minimize the window into the Dock, then back out again as a quick fix.

What version of QuickTime are you using? And look for copies of the QT player that may have been moved or renamed. It looks like this can happen if you update QT, but have an old renamed copy lying around. In which case not all of the QT files get updated.

While you're at it, what Mac are you using, and what OS X version?
