I'm trying to set up a Mac Mini running Leopard to auto-start a QC composition and automatically go to full screen mode when the Mini powers on.

I'm able to auto-start the composition when I log in, but I cannot get it to go to full-screen mode automatically.

Question 1: is there any way to auto-login?
Question 2: is there any way to get a QC-comp to come up in full- screen mode? If not, is there any way to specify the size and position of the viewer on startup?

Question 3: most annoyingly...
The installation target setup has an S-video input. In order to test, I am connecting to my TV. The Mac Mini DVI output goes into an Apple-supplied adapter that has both S-video and NTSC outputs on it.
I have no S-video cable at the moment, so I'm just running NTSC.
The Display resolution automatically changes to 800 x 600.
So far so good.
When I start the composition, (auto-start or not), I see the editor window, but no viewer window. No matter what I do, I cannot get the viewer window to show up at all. (cmd-R, cmd-F, click on viewer icon in editor window, menu versions of the above). I've also tried saving the comp with a very small viewer window and a very large viewer window. I've poked around in preferences, too. The only way I can get the viewer window is to start QC while connected to my DVI monitor (1600x1200), and then swapping the cables at the video output.

Any ideas?


Question 4: Would this all be easier/doable if I just wrapped my composition in an app? I've seen the tutorial, but have not yet tried playing with it.
