Not good news I'm afraid. I downloaded Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer in Portrait Mode and it displayed as a one inch square until I toggled WMP10 for PPC to landscape. Then it displayed as what I was used to as a Portrait mode sized flick on older WM Players for Pocket PC. BTW-This Rudolph is an 8-minute cartoon not the Television version with Burl Ives as the voice of the snowman. :)
