Can anyone tell me if you can zoom in on an avi movie?

Also why does the player tools suddenly appear in the middle of a movie?

Cheers

Try the mouse wheel over the movie.

It shows when your mouse moves even a tiny bit.  I sometimes find my optical mice (esp. The older and cheaper ones) tends to false move and light up more often on some surfaces than others.  Try putting a matte surface under your mouse.

Hello and thank for the replies.

I have tried the mouse wheel over the movie and it doesn't work with the avi movies.

Make sure:

• You click on the movie before trying the mouse wheel
• You have the latest Media Center 12 installed (look at the top of this board)
• You're using Direct Show to play the AVI (should be the default, but look in Options > Playback > DirectShow playback settings...)

Make sure the "Use Windows Media Player engine for video playback when possible" option is deselected, then check the list under DirectShow Filters and ensure that AVI is checked.
