I'm using Windows Media Encoder to re-encode video for watching on my X30High. I just use the wizard to re-encode it to the PPC specs. The problem is, when I try to watch them in full screen using Media Player 10, they don't take up the full screen.

What am I doing wrong? (Please don't tell me I'm using the wrong player. I don't do it enough to bother with another piece of software...)

Thanks!

Is the video in 4:3 format or 16:9 (widescreen)? if it's the latter you will see borders.

Have you switched into landscape mode for video playback? if you don't, even with 4:3 video you will not see full screen.

What res is WME encoding to the movies to?

WME is encoding to 208 x 160. When I was using Windows Media 9 it automatically switched to landscape mode when i would go full screen. It actually still switches to landscape, but doesn't stretch it to be full screen (like WM 9 did).
