Opening the Apple Video Player
To use the Apple Video Player application program, open it by double-clicking its icon in the Apple Video Player folder, in the Apple Extras folder on your hard disk.
When the Apple Video Player application opens, a video window appears.
If you don’t get an image in the window right away, see Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting.”
Note: You can also open (and quit) the Apple Video Player application by using a keyboard shortcut. See the section at the end of this chapter, “Setting and Using a ‘Hot Key.’”
