Does anyone else have this problem?
While in full screen mode on my PBG4, while playing a DVD disc, the full screen mode only lasts for about 5 minutes (perhaps less) until it goes back to a "Normal" window sized viewer.
This happens consistantly.
HELP!
Thanks!

i dunno if this pertains to your problem, but i was watching a DVD fullscreen on a second monitor, and if i switched to another app (like iChat) in my main monitor while the movie was playing, the DVD would switch to windowed mode. it's like, if you want fullscreen, you have to stay in DVD player, and can't go to any other apps.

Yeah, when it happens I am not trying to use any other apps, only trying to watch the video and not even pressing any buttons...

Go into DVD Player Preferences : Full Screen and check "Remain in full screen when DVD Player is inactive".. That will solve that problem. I'm not sure if it will help the other problem, but it might if every 5 minutes some other application was stealing the focus.

Thanks, but I've already tried that. It now happens that the Dock pops up every couple of minutes while in full screen mode...

I don't think its Mail, but I could be wrong. I have mine check every minute and the only time it causes problems is at 4am when my schools servers restart and it can't login.
