Hiding DVD Player!
When watching a movie or a tv show in DVD player, I often think of something I want to check on the web. I usually just hit "Space Bar" to pause and "Command-H" to hide DVD Player. One thing that drives me nuts is that when I am ready to get back to my DVD, I use "Command-Tab" to unhide DVD Player, but it is not in full screen anymore. I always thought that it was such a waste of time because when I want to unhide it, I always want it full screen just like before. Using "Command-0" (zero) makes it that much longer (especially since I always forget it is "Command-zero", I always mix it up with "Command-F" like in QuickTime). I recently found that there thankfully is a preference that you can set that will leave it in full screen when you unhide it. To enable it:
1. Go to DVD Player and choose Preferences.
2. Click on the "Full Screen" tab.
3. Check "Remain in full screen when DVD Player is inactive".

Cool. Thanks!
What a great tip! I ever wonder how to do this and now I know it ;) Thanx!
Hey, I've got a great tip for you people: look at the preferences of whatever app you're using!! JUST TAKE A LOOK!! Because chances are that you'll find a number of little checkboxes and thingies to, you know, set your, erm, preferences about how the app behaves!
Do you know what else this allows? You can have the DVD player playing on a second monitor in full screen and type a comment on your favorite Mac-related blog at the same time! I never could do that before. Thanks again!

this is another simple tip. If u double click the top bar it will minimize. So u dont have to go all the way over to the minimize.
