And also because it's one app that works the best with multimedia buttons on keyboards. http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment15http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment15Thu, 22 Jul 2010 02:28:53 GMTStop using iTunes for video? http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment14http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment14Wed, 21 Jul 2010 20:51:23 GMTWhy use iTunes though? (This is a serious question. I always found iTunes to be suboptimal and not very good at anything particular) http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment13http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment13Wed, 21 Jul 2010 17:23:56 GMTHow about trying to view the movie in "fit to screen". The fit to screen size is the same as full screen. it just doesn't black out the top and bottom. oh and you'll need to set itunes to play videos in a new window not in the itunes window. http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment12http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment12Wed, 21 Jul 2010 14:13:01 GMTPeople actually use iTunes? :S http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment11http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment11Wed, 21 Jul 2010 01:09:07 GMTI had this same problem Orin, I took the cowards way out and bought an Apple TV and haven't looked back. Hooks up to my iTunes on my laptop & desktop(s) and works perfect. http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment10http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment10Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:39:25 GMTPossibly try older versions of iTunes. I've had various issues crop up with iTunes updates on Windows. I always DL versions of iTunes rather than let it update itself just for reasons like this. Hell, I use iTunes 5 for my MP3 collection. http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment9http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment9Tue, 20 Jul 2010 22:43:50 GMTWhat about most common solution, switch to other program. http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment8http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment8Tue, 20 Jul 2010 20:40:35 GMTSubmit a bug report to Apple, and wait for iTunes 19. http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment7http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment7Tue, 20 Jul 2010 20:33:30 GMTHe could also use a telescope to read the text from the couch. But it shouldn't have to be that way. http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment6http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment6Tue, 20 Jul 2010 18:51:23 GMTA little workaround : using the magnifying glass... I know this is not what you want, but this way you'll be able to read anything ! http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment5http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment5Tue, 20 Jul 2010 15:55:48 GMTRyan, The problem is that I mainly use that machine _for_ iTunes. And I really want to be able to see the text in iTunes from the couch. I guess that I can do that and get the benefits of everything else, though http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment4http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment4Tue, 20 Jul 2010 15:12:31 GMTHave you tried setting the "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" compatibility flag on the shortcut to iTunes? http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment3http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment3Tue, 20 Jul 2010 15:07:30 GMTI have extra large fonts (Win XP) on my machine, and I frequently encounter incompatibilities, especially on the Web. I have no resolution. http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment2http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment2Tue, 20 Jul 2010 14:55:25 GMTNot the answer you're looking for, but I find this with so many apps (mainly non MS apps actually). I run even my dev machines at Medium (125%) and things like Chrome, Skype, etc. lack support for non-standard DPI. http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment1http://ayende.com/4557/itunes-full-screen-movies-incompatible-with-large-font-sizes#comment1Tue, 20 Jul 2010 14:52:54 GMT
