Chapter 8. It's Showtime: Playing Videos > Play Videos in iTunes - Pg. 167

Play Videos in iTunes Cranking up your iTunes movie theater is a lot like playing a song: Double-click your chosen video's title and iTunes starts playing it. When you click either the Grid or Cover Flow view buttons (circled), you see the videos represented by either a movie-poster type picture or a frame from the video. (Like album cov- ers, videos purchased from the iTunes Store come with the nice artwork.) iTunes gives you a few video-viewing options. You can play the video in iTunes' lower-left corner artwork window, opt to have it open in a separate, floating window (as shown here), or watch it at full-screen size on your computer. To make your screen-size choice, in the iTunes Preferences box (Ctrl+comma/c-comma), click the Playback tab. Make your decision using the drop-down menus for movies and TV shows, and music videos. You can also pick a variety of screen sizes under the ViewVideo Size menu in iTunes, including Half Size, Actual Size, Double Size, Fit to Screen, and Full Screen. it's showtime: Playing Videos 167
