note
Apple splits music and videos into separate apps on the iPad (iPod and
Videos, respectively), but sometimes you'll encounter crossover. For
example, I have a smart playlist in iTunes that shows anything added within the
last two weeks, and when viewing that playlist in the iPod app, I see video
podcasts and recent movie additions, too. Tapping the item takes me to the
Videos app, however.
1.
Tap a video's icon to view more information about it.
2.
To begin playing the movie, tap the Play button (
Figure 8.13
).
Depending on the content, you can optionally tap the Chapters
button to jump ahead to specific sections.

3.
Sit back and enjoy the movie. If you need to interact with playback, tap
the screen once to make the onscreen controls appear (
Figure 8.14
):
■
Use the playback controls to play, pause, rewind, or fast-forward.
They operate similarly to the music controls explained earlier,
though tapping once on the Rewind or Fast-forward buttons in
long movies skips the video in 5-minute increments.
■
Drag the volume slider to increase or decrease the sound, or use the
volume buttons on the iPad case.
■
Drag the playhead to scrub through the movie.
