Part III: Going Multimedia with Your Storm

Working with Media Files

Turn off backlighting when you badly need battery juice.
✓ Display Closed Captions: This option applies only to videos that sup-
port closed captions. The options are Yes (the default) and No.
✓ Appearance: This option changes the appearance of Media. Choose
Style 1 or Style 2 (the default).
✓ Position: This option refers to the location of the playback controls.
You can choose Top Left, Top, Top Right, Bottom Right, Bottom (the
default), or Bottom Left.
✓ Font Scale: Choose the size of the font you can use in Media during
playback: Largest, Larger, Large, Normal (the default), Small, Smaller, or
Smallest.
The box with a line that displays For your viewing pleasure works with
Display Closed Captions. If you opt to display closed caption, this box shows
up as a way to illustrates where the closed caption is going to appear during
playback.

Customizing Pictures

Toward the bottom of the Media Options screen and below the Pictures sec-
tion, you can change the Pictures app in the following ways:
✓ Sort By: This option toggles file sorting based on recent updates or the
filenames of your pictures.
✓ Slide Show Interval: When viewing your files in a slide show, a picture
appears for this many seconds before moving to the next picture.
✓ Exclude Folders: Navigate to a picture folder and exclude the display of
pictures inside it. The fewer pictures you have or the fewer pictures that
are displayed, the faster Pictures loads the list. So this option isn't really
intended for your secret folders, but hey, you can use it for hiding some-
thing too.
To acquire media files for your BlackBerry Storm, you have as many choices
as there are ice cream flavors. This section describes the most common ways
to get media files: using the Storm as a flash drive, using Media Manager, syn-
chronizing with iTunes, and downloading sounds.
