- Normal - Movie is displayed so that at least 1 dimension fills the screen. No cropping will occur. Aspect ratio is unaffected.
- Zoom - Movie is zoomed in, and the movie cropped so that there are no black bars on screen. Aspect ratio is unaffected.
- Stretch 4x3 - Movie is stretched to fill a 4x3 frame. Aspect ratio is changed.

- Zoom Amount
- Allows you to control how much that the view is zoomed into the video.

Video Bookmarks
This feature allows you to create bookmarks within your videos in order to be able to return to a certain point in them. This could be compared to chapters in DVD videos. In order to create them, go to the point in your video that you wish to bookmark, select the button with the folded paper (from the Videos OSD), and select Create Bookmark. To jump to a previously stored bookmark, simply highlight and select it through the Videos OSD. |
Sources for Videos
Sources are an important aspect of Videos. They allow you to easily access your videos locally or from anywhere on your network.
XBMC gives you the ability to link to media sources that are for example:
- On your computer (on a local network) or a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device/system, which supports SMB sharing
- Stored directly on the device you run XBMC on.
- On CDs/DVDs in the optical drive or even mounted on a CD/DVD drive on another computer and than streamed over your network
- Streamed from the Internet
Note: For information on how to add media sources, see article, Adding Media Sources.
Note: For information on how to configure remote file shares, see Advanced Topics/Sharing Media From Your PC.
Note: For a complete list of available sources see main article Types of Media Sources.
