Video Problem On Macs

Trouble with players and windows

We are attempting to load our video and give visitors a button which says "Full Screen" so they can view the video in full screen mode. And they can with the contextual menu in Media Player. But our boss wants this to work from a button for both Quicktime and Windows Media Player. We can't seem to make that work on the Mac. I know that Quicktime doesn't support full screen mode but the problem isn't the players themselves. We are trying to build the full screen feature into our code and while it works on the PC perfectly, it doesn't on the Mac. We are brain dead over this one. We are using IE 5.5 to test on this right now. We will test further once we get it going. OS is Mac 9.

Any help would be very appreciative.
Thanks very much

Welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com], lrains.

You give the answer yourself on your site:

Apple Quicktime Player currently does not support the full screen option.

One has to load the movie through the standard qt player and choose the Full Screen option.
