    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

Hi there,

I'm trying to run a video from a macbook pro that'll be projected on a large screen through a projector. Anyway to run the video without seeing the controls on the large screen?

I was thinking about using quicktime.

Thanks!

Sure. Among several other methods:

1. Put the video on a slide in a slideshow.
2. Don't move the mouse while the video is playing.

Hmmm, the only issue will be that I have to start it on cue.

Thanks

Another method:
1) keep the cursor outside the video frame
2) use the space bar to start and stop
