hiya, mikki, sorry for the delayed response. 
   i know nothing about multi-media stuff such as 
movie players. it's common that people who design 
software put a preferences choice in the Edit menu, 
so look there. 
   also look in the File menu as well as in the 
Help menu (be attentive in using Help, as the help 
system is global to all apps--you can search your 
way into features for some entirely different 
software than that you're working with). 
   the Ubuntu System menu has an Administration and 
a Preferences sub-menu, so look there, too. 

   best you put your questions to the list, as there 
are usually several people more skilled than i. 
   as a matter of good manners, i do not forward your 
queries to the list. here's the email address to put 
in the To: heading if you want to put a question to 
the list:
