Apple QuickTime 7 - Manual (Page 18)

18 Chapter 1 Using QuickTime Player
To rearrange movies in the list, drag them. To delete an item from the list, drag the item
to the Trash or select the item and press the Delete key. (In Windows, drag the item to
the Recycle Bin or select the item and press the Backspace key.) Deleting an item from
the Favorites list does not delete the file from your hard disk (or wherever the file is
saved).
Playing Copy-Protected Movies
QuickTime movies can be encrypted so that only authorized viewers can watch them.
Such movies are known as “secured media files.” To use such a file, you must enter a
“media key,” which is usually available from the media file provider.
To enter a media key (in Mac OS X):
1 Open System Preferences, click QuickTime, and click Advanced.
2 Click Media Keys.
3 Click the plus sign (+) and then enter the key provided by the author or vendor.
To enter a media key (in Windows):
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences.
2 Choose Media Keys from the pop-up menu.
3 Click Add and then enter the key provided by the author or vendor.
Viewing Information About a File
QuickTime Player can display information about a QuickTime file, such as its
compression format, size, and frame rate while playing.
To view information about a file:
1 Open the file.
2 Choose Window > Show Movie Info.
With QuickTime Pro, you can see additional information about a movie by choosing
Window > Show Movie Properties. For more information about movie properties, see
“Changing Movie Properties” on page 36.
Controlling Playback
You can change playback options such as balance, playback speed, the size at which a
movie plays, and whether the QuickTime Player window shows. You can also optimize
movies for playback on certain computers.
