As mentioned in this article at TUAW, the fullscreen behavior of applications such as QuickTime, DVD Player, and iTunes is determined by the preferences in the Quicktime Player application. If you have two monitors, and you want fullscreen video to show up on the secondary monitor, you must change the preferences in QuickTime. However, if you do not have QuickTime Pro, you cannot access these preferences through the application. This article describes how to enable fullscreen in QuickTime (the non-Pro version) and how to manipulate some of these preferences to determine which monitor the output is on.
Enable Fullscreen: This tip comes from Macworld. The easiest way to get fullscreen in QuickTime without buying the Pro version is with a simple AppleScript. Open up Script Editor, located at /Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor.app, and copy and paste these next few lines into a new script.
tell application "QuickTime Player"
present front movie scale screen
end tell
