 I have a Trident card in my machine, and the anims aren't fluid. :(  Then
 again, I have known for a while that Trident is pretty much on the bottom

 But as for the size of the window, if you go into "Options" under the
 "Devices" menu of MediaPlayer, you are able to change options, like the
 picture size.  You can also simply re-size the window using the sizing
 tool in the lower right corner of the window, just like other Windows
 windows. :)
