Thanks Murray, I will look into that, but at the size of the video files downloaded I won't guarantee that bigger would be more viewable. Also, I would be more inclined to have the form resizable because covering the whole form with a larger video would reduce the functionality.
If you are on a Mac, a quick fix would be to zoom using "Accessibility - Zoom" in the System Preferences application. CMD ALT 8 toggles zoom CMD ALT = zooms in CMD ALT - zooms out Cheers, bob > On Mar 10, 2016, at 1:57 PM, Murray Eisenberg <[email protected]> wrote: > > Is there some way to enlarge the video viewing window? > > On my 27” screen, the video is much too small for comfortable viewing. > > Most every video viewer I know allows such magnification.
