Video is centered horizontally and vertically in the video area. If video is too large to fill either the whole width or height of the video area, the video is resized before rendering to preserve the original aspect ratio.

To close RealPlayer, press Exit. Buffering or connecting to a streaming site stops and playback of a clip stops.

Tip: To add a shortcut to a media clip, press Menu, and select File > Add to Desk.... This creates a shortcut to the selected media clip. You cannot make a shortcut to an unsaved file.
