An idea that would come to my mind would be this: 1. Let the lecture content (QT video) be handeled by an external program, i. e. mplayer. 2. If the content has been selected and the download / downstream starts, mplayer plays it, and (according to the window manager used) mplayer's window can be changed in size. Or, more easily, the key "f" can be pressed to put mplayer into fullscreen mode. This would only require changes on the clients' site. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
