Here the most useful option is to see that you can change the playback speed. Shortcuts, as you can see, are Alt+1 and Alt+2.
#Windows media player playback speed movie
I particularly like the 50% and 100% playback options as they display the movie with the least scaling. Step 2 move the slide left or right for slowing down or speeding up the play speed.
While we’re here, it’s worth having a quick peek at some of the other menu options available off that main WMP context menu too, starting with “Video”: If you are using the default media player in Windows, which is Windows Media Player, here is what you can do: Step 1 right-click in the playing area Enhancements Play speed settings. Now about my peach colored windows theme… 🙂 I’ve highlighted the option you want to check: Allow autohide of playback controls.Ĭhoose that, click “Apply” and after a few seconds the controls will all vanish from the window and you’ll see just the movie itself displayed: Do so.Īnd now we’re back to, what, an original Windows 95 system configuration window? In any case: If you’re guessing that “More options…” is what you need to choose, you’re right. To get rid of the display, you need to right-click somewhere in the playback window to get the contextual menu to appear: Note that rate may not always be available depending on the media type. Use the following method to access playback rate: AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.URL 'e:\song.mp3' () 0.5. You can see how far into the movie you are, both visually (the blue bar long the bottom) and in terms of time (we’re 13:28 into the great Lee Marvin film Point Blank), it shows you the name of the movie file (top left) and, of course, the main controls are brightly shown at the bottom of the window too. Add an AxWindowsMediaPlayer control to your form. In Windows Media Player, watching a movie produces a raft of different controls and info displays all over the Window: Windows Media Player itself has a lot of capabilities, and, heck, you can always grab iTunes for Windows too if you’d like to give that a whirl. MOV, if you can get it onto your Win8 system, odds are very good it can play it for you.

Sounds like you’re running the stock Windows Media Player (aka WMP) on your Windows 8 system and it definitely has the ability for you to auto-hide the controls, along with a lot more you can tweak.īefore we go further, however, you are aware that there are a lot of other media players available for your system too, right, including one I’m a particular fan of because of the incredible range of video files it can play: VLC.
