I'm using dvd shrink 3.2 to back up my movies to my external hard drive. When I'm trying to watch movies through dvd shrink I can't make it go full screen. When I double click on the image or click 'full screen' I can hear the audio, but the screen seems to lock up. I can only view the file/dvd in the small screen at the left hand of the dvd shrink window. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the program and I'm having the same issue. Is there something I can do to get around this? Help me!! Just a bit frustrated!!!

It doesn't do fullscreen in the preview window; what makes you think it should ?

edit- guess what, all the years i've used Shrink i didn't know it went full screen!, i just did it for a laugh and it worked. hmmm would never have thought of using Shrink for actually watching movies...

No - I used to be able to watch in full screen, on my dell - even on my new HP. Then one day it just stopped working. I know it is possible to watch in full screen - any other input?

Can't find anything in google. Just looking in the preferences on my own DVD Shrink - look in Preferences/Preview and tell me what's in the video dropdown box - i have 'System Default Renderer' in mine (i've never changed it)

EDIT: Similar to above post. But if you have Vista, and creaky's suggestion fails, try selecting Built-in Software Renderer.

If you go to DVD Shrink's Edit menu, Preferences, and then
Preview tab, make sure Built-in Software Renderer is selected.

Try Pushing F11 on your Keyboard.

Did you right click on the preview?

I also have SDR enabled. I have Vista and the only way I get full screen is the F11 or right click on the preview window.
