You're correct. The new video player does not have a Minimize button. I should probably add one, eh? Yes, you can still access your videos the old fashioned way. If you click on the "EXTERNAL" checkbox in the player, the videos will open up in Windows Media Player, and you can resize, minimize, move them as you see fit. Or, you can always load up Windows Explorer or open My Computer and run the videos manually by going to your C:\Program Files\599CD\ folder.
