Possible to determine where overhead videos are located?

When traveling on international flights that offer only overhead video, is there any way to determine exactly where they are located on a particular flight? I've had seats located directly under one video and too far away from the forward one so that I've spent 10 hours +- with only audio. (Can't read on a plane - airsick) Would love to be able to select a seat with a decent view of the movie. Any advice? Thanks.

I'm assuming you're flying AA, as per your previous post.

Try this link.

I can't verify the validity of the video seats listed.

Thanks, Rastaguy. Yes, usually fly AA and try to get on 777's when possible, but this information will be good whenever I must fly 763's.

I think www.seatguru.com warns you about certain seats where you might have difficulty viewing the video screen.

I've looked, but I didn't see where the /\ was shown on the seats.

First place to look for such info is the airline's website:

http://www.aa.com/i18n/aboutUs/ourPlanes/boeing767.jsp

They actually tell you where the screens are.
