8. It’s Showtime: Video on the iPod > Play Videos on the iPod Touch
WATCHING VIDEO ON THE Touch is a breeze. Just tap open the Videos icon on the Home screen, flick to the movie, TV show, or video podcast you want to watch, and then tap the title to start the show.
Want to fast-forward, jump back, pause, and perform other video-playback moves? Just tap the screen to call up the touch-based controls. Want to dismiss the control panel? Tap the screen again so you can watch your show without the clutter. Apple has crammed a lot of buttons into a small space, so here’s what each one does:
-
When you finish watching a video, tap this button (in the top-left corner) to stop the show and return to the Videos menu.
-
Scroll slider. The bar at the top of the screen shows you how much time has elapsed in your current video—and how much more you have to go. Stuck in a boring part or want to see something again? Drag the white dot forward or backward to move through the clip.
