I put the "not" in quotations because I wasn't sure but I've searched damn hard for it. When I open up a Music video or any video for that matter in Quicktime there is a button with a left and right arrow that I can click to make the video stretche all the way on my 16:9 screen laptop. Why can we not do this in iTunes or can we? It usually comes up right near the full screen button near volume in Quicktime. Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

You people SUCK! Screw MacRumors AND ITS MEMBERS, I can NEVER get any help around here.
Just Playin' I love you guys, haha. Just doin' a little cheating to get me thread back to the top so more people will recognize it and in return I might get an answer! 😀 I'm so smart.
PS: I FEEL LIKE A ZOMBIE BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN MAKING A PRESENTATION FOR THE PAST 9 HOURS!!!! (Not that anyone cares just felt like having a twitter moment) And now I have to "get up" and go to class. Good thing I don't have to work (12 hour shifts in an ER!) today.

In iTunes start your movie. The go to VIEW --> Full Screen (Command F)
I've asked questions before and not gotten an answer. You need to be a little nicer. Telling folks that they suck isn't a good way to get your question answered.
Whatever, lol if they get offended by that AFTER I said I was jokin...they shouldn't. BUT thank you for the response. Actually though, I was talking about when it is in full screen how to stretch it so there are no black bars on the sides. You can do it when in Quicktime but I have not found how in iTunes.
Unfortunately, the problem is not restricted to iTunes. I have the same issue with Front Row. I want to be able to watch full full-screen video, which I can with Quicktime (although a little quirky when watching videos with subtitles). My issue is, I like to watch several videos in a row, and with Quicktime every time a video ends, I have to go up to the computer and start the next one. With Front Row I can just use the remote, but then you have the black bars.
Now, I went over to Apple Discussions to look up this issue and apparently it's been a problem since 2008 for some people.
One "solution" is to change the resolution to 1024 x 768 (stretched) then play the video full screen, but to be honest, that's a compromise. Unfortunately, at this time your options are QT or VLC (if you need to do playlists).
Wish I could have found an answer for you since it bugs me as well.
