Fullscreen presentation of a movie in the MATLAB

Hello everybody,

Given we have an avi movie or whatever (eg. myMovie.avi). How can we show/play this movie through MATLAB in a fullscreen mode (I use MAC OS)?

Many thanks in advance, -V

PS: I already checked the MATLAB function implay, but apparently there is no way to get rid of the toolbar and etc. of the movie player to have a fullscreen presentation of the movie.

I have already read that, but it did not help! Because I do work in the OS X platform and some of the functions mentioned there are not compatible in MAC with the compressed avi format I have. Anyhow if I do not get any solution I have to find out a way to convert my compressed avi movies to uncompressed ones! (I am optimistic under that circumstances the way mentioned at the aforesaid link will work!)

I believe you can play quicktime movies with mglMovie. I am not sure how easy it is to convert an .avi to an .mov (but you did say "whatever").

Thanks a lot, Daniel! In fact, my main MATLAB code generates the avi movie as a sequence of images. First converts each image, with im2frame MATLAB function, to the frame and then writes each frame on a single avi movie,VideoWriter MATLAB function is used to this end. Now, I am wondering whether it is possible to save the movie in the first place as an mglMovie rather than a movie with avi extension?
