CatDV uses the media dialog to play the media for a selected clip at full size:
All these options use the media dialog to show the media, either in a window or full screen. Double click or press Escape to close the media dialog. See below for various other keyboard shortcuts you can use to control the media as it's playing.
There are also a number of Preferences options that control how media is played, for example the slide show delay.
