"'I'm using Lion and when iTunes is playing in the background I have an issue with videos. A video starts and opens a new space and takes over the computer.

Instead, whether a video plays in full-screen, in a separate window, or in the iTunes window depends on the item checked in the View > Video Playback submenu. iTunes remembers the selection the next time you play a video. Unfortunately, the Video Playback submenu is disabled unless a video is actually playing (silly, but there you are)."?MacInTouch?6/1
