Changing the video window size
There are several ways to change the size of the video
window. You can make a choice from the Windows menu,
use a keyboard shortcut for one of the three most common
sizes, drag the size box, or click the zoom box.
Choosing menu commands
You can choose different video window sizes from the
Windows menu:
m Smallest Size uses about 1/16 of the screen.
m Normal Size uses about 1/4 of the screen.
m Largest Size uses as much of the screen as it can.
On monitors that are 640 by 480 pixels or smaller, Largest
Size hides both the menu bar and the screen controls.
Moving the mouse makes the menu bar visible.
m Other Size opens a dialog box in which you can enter a
specific other size.
Width must be in the range 160 to 640 pixels. Height must
be in the range 120 to 480 pixels.
Keep your proportions: The usual video window width-to-
height ratio is 4 to 3. Setting other proportions distorts the
video image and decreases its resolution.
