OFF97: Played Camcorder Movie Does Not Occupy Full Screen

• Microsoft Office 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you play a movie that you recorded in Microsoft Camcorder, the movie occupies a window instead of the full screen. If you maximize the window that contains the movie, the movie appears to be clipped.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when you record a movie in Microsoft Camcorder, and then play the movie on a computer that uses a higher video resolution compared to the resolution on the computer on which you recorded the file.

The movie appears in a window that is the size of the lower resolution. For example, if you record a movie on a computer that uses a video resolution of 640x480 pixels, and then play the movie on a computer that uses a (higher) video resolution of 1,024x768 pixels, the movie appears in an isolated window that is 640x480 pixels in size.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, play the movie with the same video resolution with which you record it.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
