Make video run full screen from command prompt/batch file

[tonyyeb]

Hi all

Not sure where this should go but here seems the best place (mods, feel free to move).

I am after a way of making a video run full screen by launching it from the command line / batch file / scheduled task on a Windows XP machine.

Does Winamp or something similar do this or is there a program which can turn a video file (mpeg, avi, etc...) into an executable that will run full screen (with audio)?

Thanks in advance

The only thing that puts me off using Windows Media Player is the slowness of startup. I really want it to be snappy! Currently looking at MPlayer along with a tool that packages MPlayer and a video into an executable.

mplayer.exe -fs myvid.avi

?

Thanks just found that. Works well.
