With Wide Screen Movie Player you can easily set the size of the player while keeping a nice black background that doesn't disturb your eyes.
For what I have seen the application basically creates a black windows that embeds a quicktime player that you can resize inside the container using keybord shortcuts or the menu bar. the window can be set at full screen hiding the dock and the menubar. stretching the embedded qt player have a slightly different behaviour than switching quicktime to full screen mode and i found it better. the problems arise when you try to zoom the actual content. that is pretty useless since the videos become unwatchable and out-of-sync even on a 2.4 dual core macbook pro.
the licence is definetly too expensive for what you get

I suggest everyone who want to download this program to try also the free Xinema which will play a movie fullscreen, plus has all these keyboard shortcuts when watching the movie:
Space Pause/Resume
Esc Stop (exit fullscreen)
? Go 10 seconds forward
? Go 10 seconds back
? Go one minute forward
? Go one minute back
?? Fast forward (2x)
?? Fast forward (3x)
?? Rewind (2x)
?? Rewind (3x)
?L Toggle loop
?F Toggle fill screen
4 Go one frame back
6 Go one frame forward
J Jump to specific time
Page up Increase sound volume
Page down Decrease sound volume
Home Set sound volume to maximum
End Set sound volume to minimum
I suggest also trying the freewares VLC and MPlayer (my player of choice) which can open almost any type of movie and sound file and can be controlled with keyboard shortcuts while playing.
My message to the programer: If you release programs that offer less features or functionality than already existing freeware ones, don't make them shareware.

tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
present movie
end tell
Save it as an application and then simply run it with any movie open in Quicktime. Its that simple.
