| Video acceleration option
|
Description
|
| Use video mixing renderer
|
Enables advanced video rendering capabilities. This
option determines which video renderer to use. If you select this
option, Video Mixing Renderer-7 (VMR7) is used. If you clear this
option, the legacy video renderer is used. |
| Use overlays
|
Enables the graphics/video display card to display
and scale video from an alternate source on top of the image
displayed on the monitor. If you select this option and overlay
hardware is available, video is displayed using the overlay
hardware of the video card. |
| Use high quality mode
|
Specifies use of VMR7 in YUV mixing mode. This mode
improves color accuracy, deinterlacing, and scaling on newer
graphics/video display cards. |
| Legacy video renderer - Use YUV flipping
|
Specifies the use of YUV surface formats when using
the overlay. If you clear this option, YUV surface formats for
overlay is turned off. |
| Legacy video renderer - Use RGB flipping
|
Specifies the use of RGB surface formats when using
the overlay. If you clear this option, RGB surface formats for
overlay is turned off. |
| Legacy video renderer - Use primary surfaces
|
Specifies the use of primary surfaces. If you clear
this option, primary surfaces for video overlay is turned off and
the Windows Graphical Device Interface (GDI) is used for video
display. |
| Drop frames to keep AV in sync
|
Synchronizes the audio and video components when
the video component lags behind the audio component of a file as
the file is rendered to the monitor. Poor synchronization of video
and audio components is common in systems with slower CPUs. If you
select this option, a large number of video
may be dropped to maintain synchronization of audio and video in a
file. |
| Enable full-screen mode switch
|
This option may change the resolution of the
monitor when viewing videos in full-screen mode. This option is
principally used for older graphics/video cards. Screen resolution
returns to its original setting when leaving full-screen mode. |
| Display full-screen controls
|
If you select this option, the full-screen controls
are displayed on top of the video currently being played. |
| Use video smoothing
|
If you select this option, low files (<15 frames per second) may be interpolated
to create a less choppy and a smoother-viewing file. |
| Video border color - change
|
Allows you to select the border color for the
video. |
| DVD video option
|
Description
|
| Use video mixing renderer
|
Enables advanced video rendering capabilities. This
option determines which video renderer to use. If you select this
option, Video Mixing Renderer-7 (VMR7) is used. If you clear this
option, the legacy video renderer is used. |
| Use overlays
|
Enables the graphics/video display card to display
and scale video from an alternate source on top of the image
displayed on the monitor. If you select this option and overlay
hardware is available, video is displayed using the overlay
hardware of the video card. |
| Enable full-screen mode switch
|
This option may change the resolution of the
monitor when viewing videos in full-screen mode. This option is
principally used for older graphics/video cards. Screen resolution
returns to its original setting when video viewing is
complete. |
| Display full-screen controls
|
If you select this option, the full-screen controls
are displayed on top of the video currently being played. |
| Optimize performance for batteries
|
In low battery situations, the DVD playback uses a
viewing method that requires less power. This option is not
available if the power supply is a line supply. If you select this
option, the less power-consumptive option is used, DVD frame
capture may be unavailable, and DVD video image may degrade. |
| Preferred decoder - Hardware
|
Decoders decode audio, subpictures, and MPEG-2
format for DVD playback. Hardware decoders may be built into your
computer. They perform well with CPUs of less than 500 MHz because
they require less CPU usage. If you select this option, your
computer's hardware decoder is used. If the designated hardware
decoder is not available, the software decoder is used. |
| Preferred decoder - Software
|
Decoders decode audio, subpictures, and MPEG-2
format for DVD playback. If a software decoder is installed, it is
the default decoder unless otherwise specified. |
