Say it ain't so Apple!
Go here:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Notice, that if you purchase Quick Time PROFESSIONAL, apple says the following:
1. Play movies in Full Screen
So, the trial and free version only plays that icky Widescreen version.

They're referring to making the player a full screen player -- hides the controls, image fills the screen (plus black bars if widescreen). Without buying it, you can only get the player to be as large as you can drag the corner, which ends up being about 60% of your screen.

We call Fullscreen fans Foolscreens. What should we call those who are dumb enough to think that Fullscreen always means something bad?

Click on the words "full screen" on that link and it gives an animated demonstration of exactly what the feature does, complete with a widescreen clip from "Monster's Inc."
In this case, "full screen" means exactly what Numanoid said it means: The video window takes up your entire monitor, hiding the controls and frame.

You guys are too smart.
So, a fullscreen on a widescreen is obviously good. But what about a widescreen on a fullscreen? Or a fullscreen on a fullscreen?
Anyway, I think Apple should word it different. I bet they are wording it so a person actually thinks their entire monitor (4:3) will be used when playing a video.

I don't think there is really any confusion. It is the difference between watching the video in a window or using the whole monitor. The movie trailers are still widescreen either way.

Oh well, at least you guys seem to understand it. I have over 600 movies...in widescreen format, and I was confused for a moment.

I've been accustomed to the PC wording of "fullscreen" for awhile. Most media players or what not use that phrasing opposite of running things in a window.

I'm watching the widescreen version of Shrek 2 in fullscreen. It looks great!

Depends on who you ask.
Does Back To The Future 2 happen after the first movie, or before it?

Full screen in this context means the video will fill the computer screen.
On the trial, movies will be windowed.
