+// This is a somewhat comprehensive example of how to use all the funtionality
+// of the wxMediaCtrl class in wxWidgets.
 //
 // To use this sample, simply select Open File from the file menu,
-// select the file you want to play - and MediaPlayer will play the file in a 
-// new notebook page, showing video if neccessary.
+// select the file you want to play - and MediaPlayer will play the file in a
+// the current notebook page, showing video if necessary.
 //
 // You can select one of the menu options, or move the slider around
 // to manipulate what is playing.
 
 // %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 // Known bugs with wxMediaCtrl:
-// 
+//
 // 1) Certain backends can't play the same media file at the same time (MCI,
 //    Cocoa NSMovieView-Quicktime).
-// 2) Positioning on Mac Carbon is messed up if put in a sub-control like a 
-//    Notebook (like this sample does) on OS versions < 10.2.
