In this preferences page you can do settings
related to video playback. The video playback is mainly focussed on the playback
of video clips. To read more about video playback, its capabilties and
about codecs, go here: Playing
video clips
Video File
Extensions Enter here the video file extensions you want to look
for. Note that the capabilty to playback these filetypes depends on the
installed codecs you have. Video Presentation
Settings Here you can set where the video playback
will appear in the AlbumPlayer. Set Video to

Slide Show on video start to present

Fullscreen Options
Prefered Monitor to play
Fullscreen video:
The video will appear fullscreen on the
specified monitor. When the monitor is not found it will
default to monitor 1.
Fill the
width of screen (cut off top/bottom of 3/4 video on 16/9 screen)
This option forces the video to fill the width of the
screen. So when you have a 16/9 screen, the 3/4 videos will be zoomed to
fit the whole screen. The top and bottom will cut
off in that case.
Video Renderer
You can choose your video renderer here. Both are based on DirectShow. The Standard renderer is highly recommended because it is stable. But it has a disadvantage that it can only playback over the default audio device. The xVideo can play over other audio device too, but has several issues. It also is unable to crossfade the audio.
