[Dixielandjazz] Viewing the Quicktime videos of Jonathan or any
other Quicktime .mov file.

Perhaps by this time this has been covered, but the answer given to
Robert Smith on the DJML about how to see a larger Quicktime screen does
not work for everyone. It did not for me. I knew Real Player will
easily show 2 times or full screen from the original size Quicktime
screen. That is the default player for .mov files for most of us. I did
a RIGHT click on the link to the video and selected "Save Target As" and
downloaded the approximately 6 meg .mov file. It of course works for all
the video files and compilations. Or to save the .mp3 sound files.
Then open your Real Player (WMP probably works too) and open that file
and select 2X. Full screen as mentioned in a previous post does not
really work on those files. Bob found out that you can then drag the
lower right corner to the optimum viewing size of about 240%. You may
have to move the cursor a little SE of the corner to get that to work
while holding down the left mouse button.
All this may be obvious to the computer experts on DJML, but surprise.
We are not all in that category. Trial and error rules.
