Change your resolution, or produce the movie

Have you tried setting your display to 800-600 before trying to play your movie through the projector. And why are you playing them with iMovie. Why not produce them into a mpeg, and use Mplayer or VLC to play the movie at full screen.

Are you trying to simply play a movie that is already composed? If so, iMovie creates a preview mov file that is found in your project folder, should be near the iMovie project file. The mov preview file can be played in quickTime, allowing for an 800x600 projection (the preview file is not a self contained movie, it is dependent on the resources used in your project).

You could also export your movie to the desktop, creating a self contained movie. The self contained movie could then be played through the quickTime player.
