Apple Unlocks Full-Screen Mode For Free QuickTime Player

For years, the free version of QuickTime didn’t allow full-screen playback. Instead, that simple feature would have required a $30 upgrade. As asinine as that is, you can finally unclench your fist and download 7.2, which opens up that feature to non-Pro versions of the player. Aside from that, the new version also upgrades the H.264 codec and takes care of other misc. bugs.

The Cupertino-based company said QuickTime 7.2 includes a new version of QuickTime Player that unlocks support for viewing videos in full-screen — a feature which was previously available only through a $30 QuickTime Pro license. QuickTime 7.2 also bundles “updates to the H.264 codec” and numerous bug fixes, Apple said. It’s available as 51.4MB download for Mac users and a 19.3MB download for Windows users.
