U can call "QGraphicsVideoItem::setSize":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qgraphicsvideoitem.html#size-prop method every time when QGraphicsView resizes.
What videos can not be played?

Hi, I am an expert now on this subject, I have developed the same thing and I used the video surface for drawing subtitles.
So I create an algorithm that parse the srt file and draw subtitles on videsurface.(resize is automatic)
You can exploit the custom video surface example and draw on that paint method.Furthermore I have created an object inside the QVideoWidget so, you can set in player->setOutputVideo(videoWidget->videoSurface()).
For video support you can switch the engine to directx.

2.i really dont know!

bq. Qt Multimedia features for Windows are implemented in two plugins; one using the Microsoft DirectShow API, and another using WMF (Windows Media Foundation) framework. DirectShow API was introduced in Windows 98, and gradually deprecated from Windows XP onwards. Media Foundation framework was introduced in Windows Vista as a replacement for DirectShow and other multimedia APIs. Consequently, WMF plugin in Qt is supported only for Windows Vista and later versions of the operating system. - "Qt Multimedia on Windows":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qtmultimedia-windows.html

Per default MSVC compiler compiles using WMF (Windows Media Foundation) and unfortunately it's really limited when talking about formats. You can see the list "here":http://bit.ly/1E8x9N1

If you notice you can't execute mkv, flv, rmvb and others common formats. There's others alternatives that you can try such as MPlayer, QtAV, VLC-Qt.

Searching for how to run other formats you can see this information on Microsoft's FAQ:

bq. Windows Media Player includes some of the most popular codecs, like MP3, Windows Media Audio, and Windows Media Video, but it doesn't include the codecs required for Blu‑ray Discs, FLAC files, or FLV files. If something isn’t working with Windows Media Player, you might not have the right codec on your PC. The easiest way to solve the problem is to go online and search for the codec you need.

bq. Warning
You should only install codecs, filters, or plug-ins from trusted, authorized sources, such as the official website of the codec manufacturer. Be careful when you install codecs that you've found on the Internet, particularly the free codec packs that claim to include codecs from many companies, because these codec packs might include software that can damage your PC. If you've installed any codec packs and are having problems with the Player, we recommend that you remove them.

Resuming: Windows 7 or later supports most modern video and audio codecs and container formats. However it doesn’t support Matroska video files as it doesn’t have native mkv splitter.

For unknown reasons even if you install codecs Qt Multimidia still not running those formats.

You can compile using MinGW that will switch to DirectX. If you are in a 64bit operating system, you can use Mingw-w64. - "see more...":http://qt-project.org/wiki/MinGW-64-bit

actually i using ubuntu.
thanks for explaining, but it not depends on format either.
because i can play mkv, avi, mp4 ,etc. but just some of them cant play!
thats the odd thing!

On Ubuntu (Linux) Qt Multimidia uses GStreamer. - It might be the encoding of the video or the video isn't supported itself.
