Micromedia is a flexible video viewer that you can use to watch recorded
movies and videos files. The most common use for MicroMedia is to watch
recorded TV shows or present video during talks and seminars, but many
users find Micromedia a simple tool for watching all sorts of videos.
Because Micromedia supports only very basic commands, you cannot
accidentally make a serious mistake using Micromedia. MicroMedia allows you to easily play your
video files without the need for a large bulky player. Micromedia loads
up quickly and allows you to play your media files without waiting for
the player to load.
The player also allows you to hide
everything except for the actual media files. Try that with your other
players, you can't do it.
This media player also stays on top of
your work so you can put it in the corner and continue your work without
worrying about the player getting lost under your many windows.
MicroMedia currently supports all media files playable by Windows
Media Player and the Quicktime Player. You must have a version of
Quicktime already installed to be able to open quicktime files with
MicroMedia Player.
Program Commands
File
Open -This command allows you to open a media file. Micromedia
can open any file format that can be opened by Windows Media Player because
it hosts the Windows Media Control. Micromedia can easily play MPG, AVI,
MPG2 as well as other formats.
Tip: When opening the player you can click on the MicroMedia logo
to open a file.
File Exit

Views - There
are three views that you can use for watching videos in MicroMedia
player. The standard view allows you to see the video, the menu and the
windows controls. These commands are not available for Quicktime
movies.

By using the toggle media player controls
command you can enable the controls to interfact directly with the video
file.

You can also hide all of the controls either by selecting the Hide
Controls command or by clicking on the video. You can escape this mode
either by clicking on the video again or by pressing the escape key on
the keyboard.

Play Commands -While
playing a recorded video you want to spend most of your time watching
the video but sometimes you want to see a replay or skip through a
commercial. The play commands allow you to easily do this. These
commands are not available for Quicktime movies.
Play / Pause - This will
stop the video if it's playing and start it again if it's paused. You
can use the shortcut key P to do this while the video is playing.
Skip commercial (30 seconds) -
This will fast forward your video exactly 30 seconds. Perfect for
skipping through commercials.
Replay (5 seconds) - This will
rewind the video 5 seconds so you can see it all over again.
Skip show (30 min) - If you've
recorded hours of video this is essential for quickly finding what you
want. Don't mess with sliders that don't work.
Tip: When the MicroMedia is in it's
tiny mode you can still use the shortcuts without Ctrl for the play
commands. P to play/pause, C to skip commercials, X to
replay and V to skip show. The space bar will also pause and play the
video.
