I am using my Xbox 360 to watch videos from my computer that I downloaded from the Internet, but all of the videos play in a small box in the middle of the screen. How can I make them full size?
Great question – when I am watching videos from the Internet on my 360, I always blow them up to full size. The video quality really is not of paramount significance since it’s from the Web, so why not use up all that screen real estate?
Start playing your video on the Xbox 360, then press the “A” button to bring up the video controls. Move over the first icon after the two fast-forward controls — it should read “Display Mode”. Hit the “A” button a few times to cycle through all of the different display modes that are available. Using this control, you can zoom, stretch, and letterbox your video, among various other modes.
Here is a picture of the “Display mode” button I am describing:
