When I click on a downloaded video in itunes, I can hear the video but
not see it, unless I click on the full screen option.

Is there a way to SEE the video, withought using the full screen option?

Yes. You'll need to make sure that the small window where "album art" is located is visible. It will be located in the lower-left of the iTunes window.

Two additional notes... When clicking an iTunes button from a person's
vlog page, you be asked to open the iTunes application. It then takes
you to their podcast-store page inside iTunes. You'll notice a list
of the vlog's recent videos.

Bug: If you click them you'll start playing the "preview" and only
hear audio.

It does not download the video files until you decide to subscribe.
In order to see the preview, you have to go back into your library and
you'll see the video playing in the album art section (lower left).

Bug: You cannot double-click this video "preview" to open a bigger window.

Richard, you also mentioned only full screen but you can click the
green maximize button again (when in full screen) and it should show
the video at regular size (still in its own window).

Hope that helps. I sometimes find myself day-dreaming of iTunes 5.0...

On this subject, Id like to mention stuff in the iTunes preferences,
advanced tab. Next to play videos option, there is a dropdown menu
with the choices 'in the main window' 'in a seperate window' and
'fullscreen'. This sets the default, so videos will start playing in
new window or fullscreen without having to doubleclick the artwork
part of itunes or press the fullscreen button every time.

Also in my fullscreen mode its fully fullscreen, there is no button to
restore the window to normal size because its not a window, its the
whole screen.

Its true that you can resize the 'in a seperate window' view of videos
in itunes, so that it fills the whole screen or as much of it as youd
like, but this isnt the same as fullscreen mode because you still see
window border & window control buttons.

Anyway none of the above helps with the bug that makes the apple
podcast directory previewing no good for video at the moment.

Actually for me this bug is even worse, are you saying that you can
see the currently previewing video, if you click it on the podcast
directory list and then switch to library tab? For me this doesnt
work, if I switch to library whilst previeing a podcast/video, the
artwork section is empty because its related to whats playing in the
library at that moment, not the podcast directory.

Is this functionality identical on PC and Mac? Im using itunes on the Mac.

Cheers

Yes, if I double-click to preview a video it is only visible when I
switch back to the library. Make sure your artwork box is set to "Now
Playing" rather than "Selected Song". Also, I have my default set to
'in a separate window'. Note, these are my results on both Mac and Win.
