Plays all your QuickTime and Video for Windows clips, as well as your sound files. The Galt Video Launch Pad is an ideal MOV/AVI video file player. It allows you to store up to 10 videos in memory, all playable at the touch of a button -- simply click on the 'Select/Store Video' button and then the 'Play Video' button. No more hunting through directories each time you want to play your favorite video clips. The names of the stored clips are displayed on the screen so they are easy to remember. Quickly browse through all videos in a directory. It also allows you to switch between Full Screen mode and Window mode for displaying video. It features a drag bar to 'scroll' through the video as it is updated in real time, along with standard stop, play, and rewind controls. Advanced features include: freeze frame control, play in reverse, play in slow motion (1 to 6 frames/sec) and capture and save frozen image as BMP. Much more convenient than the standard media player. Registration fee of $29 brings you a CD-ROM filled with screen-shattering video clips, and the video screen saver, Full Motion. These clips bring your system to life with rollercoasters, speedboats, skiiing, skydiving, airplanes, waterfalls, the space shuttle, and more! See the 'Video CD Offer' button for details. Troubleshooting: ================ Playing AVI video files requires that your system have Video for Windows (Microsoft) installed. Playing MOV files (Apple Quicktime) requires that you have QuickTime for Windows installed. You can download these from AOL, Compuserve, or our web page (www.galttech.com). It is a free download. After you install it, your system will be video ready and VLP 3.0 will run without difficulties. ======================= ASP OMBUDSMAN STATEMENT ======================= "This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP).
