Controlling the Video Display Window

When you open a stream that contains video data, the Video Display Window appears and displays the stream's first video frame. Read the following topics for instructions for controlling the Video Display window.

Stretching the Video Display Window

NOTE: Stretching the Video Display window is currently unsupported in the StreamWorks Player for Xwindows.

Closing the Video Display Window

Closing the Video Display window hides the video window.

Video Frame Quality

Because MPEG video contains 24-bit (True Color) data, video frame quality decreases as the number of displayed colors (color depth) is reduced. Reducing color depth below 256-color results in unacceptable video frame quality. To optimize video frame quality, make sure your computer's display is set to at least 256 colors.
