How To Setup MPEG Pro
======================
a. Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroup 3.11 must be present.
b. Install MPEG Pro Video Software Disk 1 of 1.
How To Troubleshoot
===================
a. If MPEG cannot be played from MediaPlayer :
- quit from Windows
- look for file MPLAYER.INI under Windows dir
- erase lines like :
mpegvideo=0,...
mcivcd=0,...
- restart Windows and try again from MediaPlayer.
- This is to force MediaPlayer to re-initialise its driver listings.
b. If MPEG cannot be played from MPEG Pro Application OR
MediaPlayer, ensure the following is present :
- in SYSTEM.INI file
[mci]
mpegvideo=mcimpeg.drv
mcivcd=mcimpeg.drv
- in SYSTEM.INI file
[386Enh]
DMABUFFERSIZE=056
- in WIN.INI file
[mci extensions]
mpg=mpegvideo
dat=mpegvideo
- in WIN.INI file
[IIT_VCP]
mpp = < path to the MPEG Pro Application, e.g. C:\MPEG\ >
c. If video cannot be seen during MPEG playback, please check that the
following possibilities might occur:
1) The loopback cable (VGA Monitor Cable) or the feature connector
is not properly connected.
2) The Video Output Mode is being put to TV (NTSC/PAL) mode instead
of the VGA mode when a TV is not connected.
3) The present color key cannot be used and another color key will
have to be selected.
Color Adjustment
=================
Note that the color of the video displayed for certain MPEG playback may not
appear correct on certain VGA cards. At such occasion, go to the Video
Adjustments option under the pull-down menu and adjust the color under the
Color Adjust option.
Video Alignment
===============
a. Depending on the system used, video alignment may go off when different
VGA cards or resolutions are used. At such occasion, go to the Video Adjust-
ments option under the pull-down menu and align the video accordingly under
the Input Video Alignment option. Note that alignment can be made in the
VGA mode as well as in the TV (NTSC/PAL) mode.
Caution: If video blanking is encountered, this is an indication that the video
is over or under aligned. Alignment will have to be properly adjusted
to enable video display to be normal.
Playback of VCD/CD-Is
=====================
Please ensure that the caching capability of the smartdrive is not on if user
loads the smartdrive (that is, append '/U' behind the smartdrive command in
the autoexec.bat file).
Things That Should NOT Be Done
==============================
a. Please take note : Under MPEG Pro, the STOP button is actually a CLOSE
MPEG function. It will close down the MPEG driver. If you just want to
stop player momentarily, use the PAUSE button instead. Otherwise, you have
to reload the file or CD-i.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
