 Video {
     id: video
     width : 800
     height : 600
     source: "video.avi"

     MouseArea {
         anchors.fill: parent
         onClicked: {
             video.play()
         }
     }

     focus: true
     Keys.onSpacePressed: video.paused = !video.paused
     Keys.onLeftPressed: video.position -= 5000
     Keys.onRightPressed: video.position += 5000
 }

The Video item supports untransformed, stretched, and uniformly scaled video presentation. For a description of stretched uniformly scaled presentation, see the fillMode property description.

The Video item is only visible when the hasVideo property is true and the video is playing.
