How can I make videos in Windows Media Player take up the whole screen? There doesn't seem to be a zoom or stretch function. I've tried full-screen and that doesn't do it either.

Is there a better player out there?

That little button just to the left of the volume slider is full screen mode ... of course it might depend on the format size of the media.

call me stupid, but i don't have any video that plays, all that stays on the screen is the logo. How do you get videos?

Like I said Mike, I tried "Full Screen" mode...that little button you mentioned. All that does is get rid of the rest of the OS, so just the video is playing. It doesn't actually make the video any bigger.

I'm wondering how to make my videos take up the entire screen?

I get it now. I tried a file in 208 x 160 format, and it does what you said. Play in full screen always option doesn't help.
If you want to blow up a clip, it has to be re-sampled, and it's going to look like hell.
I use Virtual Dub for mpg to avi, and Windows media encoder for wmv. Better if you can start with a big format and shrink it down.

Much info here
