Release Notes for rev 1.2: - This product requires Windows 3.1 or above. - This product is designed to allow the user to select AVI (Audio/Video), WAV, & Bitmaps to make their own custom screen saver. We have include many "templates" or windows for you to select from. Depending on the speed of your computer some will work better than others due to the size of the video image. Try the different demos and you will quickly get to know and use these different templates. The included templates are as follows: * Full Screen * Centered * Palette * Moving Action * Photo Album With the use of the /T in the CVS file you can specify the size and location of the video window. See demo examples. - THIS RELEASE IS DESIGNED FOR 640x480x256. We also support 800x600 & 1024x768, however due to the intense requirements of the video you may notice a drop in performance. 256 colors is preferable. **** !!! There is a problem with some video drivers @ 1024x768x256 resolution. The video picture will "segment" in the larger viewport templates. This occurs when the AVI file is captured at a low resolution (ex:160x120) and then scaled to high resolution in large viewports. Check Cool Software BBS, or other major BBS services, for an update if and when it is available. - WE DO SUPPORT MPEG, if you have the hardware and supporting drivers installed. Simple replace the AVI with MPEG files. - Videos are played via the use of a CODEC (compression- decompression) driver. Different AVI files will make use of of these different CODECs and hence due to the differences in the compression methods you may see varying degrees of smoothness. The size of the captured image will effect the quality of the playback image, especially if you enlarge the image. The AVI demo files were captured at 160 x 120 20 frames per second. You may wish to capture images at a higher resolution, depending on your system. - Disk compression software can slow down the video. - To improve Video speed turn off sound if you do NOT have a sound card. - We have tried to include as many AVI, WAV, and BITMAP source examples, and still make it easy to download. More examples are available on our company BBS. You may reach it at 512-918-2001 settings:(N-8-1) - Feel free to edit and change out AVI, WAV, & BITMAPS for your use. The DEMOS are is help get you started. We admit we aren't artists or musicians. The main idea is to let YOU use and create YOUR OWN FILES. - We will be releasing an editor system (BEDFORD) to regist- ered users very soon to allow the user to create and edit their CVS projects even easier. - Check our company BBS for updates and new SHAREWARE releases.
