Does anyone know of a good procedure to increase the size of the Video Player?
I'm really in hopes that CC will drastically update the functions of this player.

The only way to adjust the size of the video player is to change the values in the Video Player settings you can choose Small Or Large. Or you can hack the xml for Really advanced users. The First Place is going to be in the object and embed tags:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
width="275" height="227"
id="CC3624420" align="middle">
<param name="movie" value="myvideoplayer.swf"/>
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="salign" value="lt" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="myvideoplayer.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"
width="275" height="227"

name="CoffeeCup" scale="noscale" salign="lt" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object>



Then the xml file:
<videobox
x="0"
y="0"
w="275"
h="227
"
and
<video
x="4"
y="5"
h="200"
w="267"

visible="t"
></video>


So that is a lot to do and you may have unexpected results all the buttons and controls will likely have to be modified too. A little time and some math with percentages and you may be able to do it. Of Course you could just choose the Player Size Small or large on the Video player Settings!

Thanks Jon. On a Monitor set at 1920 X 1200, the large is small. I just went ahead with FlowPlayer, as suggested by someone else on this Forum.

I would really like to see CC update their functions for the CC Player. I know they have the expertise, but it takes time since they have so many pieces of software.

Anyway, if I do another, I may mess with your suggestions. It's just so much easier with software that makes adjusting these settings more streamlined. However, FlowPlayer is the easiest to adjust, but you CAN do it by reading a little. They allow for adjustments.

Flow player is a good alternative. I too hope the size issue is fixed on a subsequent update.
