Configuration Tips:
Before changing either the Audio or Video quality settings from within the Device/Properties dialog box, be sure to stop playing all clips and exit all running instances of Media Player. The new settings will take effect when the Media Player is restarted. Also, use the same settings for all instances of Media Player - you cannot choose to have different settings for different clips.
TroubleShooting:
1.Video updates very slowly when playing Video CD files from CDROM.
- Make sure CD-ROM drive capable of VideoCD playback.
- Make sure that your Enhanced IDE CD_ROM drive is a master on the secondary IDE controller. These drives do not operate well on the primary controller as SLAVE.
2.MPEG files playback fine on my system when Windows 3.1 was installed. Now they don't look as good or don't play back as fast.
- Contact your graphics card manufacture, to make sure that the graphics driver installed on your system is Direct draw enabled.
3. I just purchased a MPEG title and it doesn't seem to work properly.
- Older MPEG titles from Sigma Design, aren't compliant with the Open MPEG standard.
