Playing media clips
You can play video clips and sound files that are stored in device memory or on a memory card, transferred to your device from
e-mail or compatible PC, or streamed to your device over the Internet.
The progress bar displays the playing time, position, and length of a media clip. During playback, video pauses while the main
menu or any dialog is displayed. Video is centered horizontally and vertically in the video area. If video is too large to fill either
the whole width or height of the video area, the video is resized before rendering to preserve the original aspect ratio.
