Introduction: DCI capability is able to enhance video throughtput performance for some video adapters. DCISVGA.DRV provides basic DCI primary surface support for several popular SVGA graphics chips/cards. The following graphics chips/cards are supported by DCISVGA.DRV: TSENG ET4000 Video Seven HT208, HT209 Video Seven VRAM Cirrus GD5424, GD5426, GD5428 ATI Wonder Western Digital 90C30, 90C31 S3 86C801 ATI 68800 older cards from Oak, and Trident If you have one of the above graphics chips/cards, you may try using DCISVGA.DRV as the DCI primary surface provider. If you do not have one of the above graphics chips/cards, please do not use DCISVGA.DRV; instead, please contact your graphics vendor for a DCI provider that is appropriate to your chip/card. Installation: The SETUP program for StreamWorks (tm) will install the two DCI files if your system has no DCI drivers previously installed. As an alternative, and for purposes of your understanding of the DCI installation, the section "Manual Installation" is provided. Manual Installation: DCISVGA.DRV and DCIMAN.DLL should be copied into the \windows\system subdirectory, and SYSTEM.INI should be edited in the [drivers] section to add the line: DCI=DCISVGA.DRV We have successfully tested this DCI driver under Win 3.11 and WFW when using the default SVGA 256-color drivers. We don't know how it will work in other configurations. If you modify XMPLAYER.INI to support DCI, and you see no video during playback, WNETVIEW's probably not compatible with DCISVGA on your system. There are DCI drivers available from various VGA card manfacturers which will signficantly enhance the performance and quality of software MPEG playback - please check with your VGA manufacturer for availability.
