    Posted: 08 Jun 2009 at 11:47am
I must be doing something stupid (been known to do soConfused).. But I can't seem to get the 2nd monitor video as full screen. It appears as the small preview window.
 
This occurrs in both Aurora and Borealis.
 
Can anyone perhaps point me in the right direction?
 
Seems like I got the full screen problem resolved - just redid the 2nd monitor location.
 
But what I do notice in the Scheduler while test running 2 sequences with video, there are 2 short bursts of the next sequence audio as the next sequence is loading and just prior to playback. I noticed this when I first started to experiment with video some while back. Is this perhaps something that gets fixed in some nearby future release?  Wink..

Are you using MSDXM or DirectShow (Quartz) as your playback option in the playback preferences?  Is this Vista or XP?

I get the same results when I tried it.  Video window comes up on the second monitor, but is a fixed size.   

XP with the MSDXM option chosen in playback setting



EDIT:   I'll give it a shot on Vista  and see what happens if I remember at lunch.

Same results on Vista as well.  The Window is movable, but the size is fixed

Vista, DirectShow
 
It works sometimes (full screen on 2nd monitor) but not always. More often it's the fixed size of the window that was dragged onto the 2nd monitor.
 
The problem of the short bursts of sound (the media file sound) as the sequence is preparing to play in the scheduler means that this will be aired during a show.. I would think that would make it rather annoying as the scheduled show plays and switches from sequence to sequence.
 
The .avi file is the media AV file and not the Alt. Video* file..

The audio burst has to do with a timing coordination thing... because video takes longer to queue up than audio, we go ahead and start that process (in another thread) while Aurora is busy loading the sequence.  If the video is ready before Aurora is ready with the sequence then the audio begins before Aurora gets around to stopping it and resetting the time index.  The audio burst was always there but at one time there was a routine that properly muted it so that it would not be noticed. 
 
I'm going to guess that when we did the late 2008 change to the COM system to resolve some Vista install issues that we also broke the muting and second monitor startup.  It should be fairly easy to resolve.  This will probably take a week to get fixed and through the beta cycle... I know some of y'all want to use this for the July 4 shows.

If I were one to read between the lines does this hint a possible update from 1.0.41 prior to 4 July Wink

Is this in the scheduler only, or does it show up in the sequencer as well?  I know the original post indicated both, but I'm not able to replicate this with the sequencer so far.

I only tested it in the Sequencer.   I'll have to try the scheduler and see if its still a fixed size window.
