Any ideas???

-If I maximize a video and then go into another screen to work on something, it brings the video back down to the normal small size instead of staying maximized.

Maximized youtube videos look like shit unless you're viewing it on a 15" monitor from across the room...use stage6. The divx web plugin is really really good.

It does it on both IE 7 and FF 2.

Ahh, so use a better OS....

Apparently once your browser loses focus the video loses fullscreen. Using Opera or Firefox under Linux the video stays fullscreen....

That's very helpful. Thank you. I just switched to Linux and EVERYTHING works perfectly.

I prefer to download videos first, then watch 'em in a proper player with better scaling and on the display of my choice.
