Macintosh Laptops

I just got a new macbook and i used a cable to extend the display to my tv where i watch movies i downloaded.?

When i try to make it full screen on my tv it goes to my laptop's screen no matter what i do. Any Help? i'm using vlc btw for the AVI's.

I can get the screen to get bigger just by making it bigger in the lower right hand corner but it leaves the VLC border showing how far it into the movie and it just annoys me.

Is the screen on your TV either blue or the desktop pattern with nothing else?

If so, go to the System Preferences and choose Displays.

At the top of the Displays preferences, click on Arrangement

At the bottom of the Arrangement preferences, make sure the box next to "Mirror Displays" is checked.

You should now see your icons, menu bar and dock. Don't worry if the screen re-sizes itself and everything looks larger, that is normal. It will go back to normal when you unplug from the TV. If not, restart the computer with the TV unplugged.

As far as AVIs with VLC, I'd recommend either Quicktime with Perian or MPlayer. Both will easily do full screen. (As long as your Quicktime is the latest version) For more info on this:
