#  Video Operations
1. DCI Function
   SiS 5597/5598 supports DCI driver for software MPEG playback and other
   media player programs which could take advantage of DCI.
   The SiS 5597/5598 DCI driver is automatically loaded during "Windows
   Driver Unpack & Copy" process.  Therefore it should be transparent to
   the end-user and any media players could take advantage of it.
2. SiS MMPlay (SW MPEG)
   To make SW MPEG playback more friendly than original SW MPEG player
   supplier provided, SiS provide an MMPlayer application program to provide
   an VCP-like (Video Cassette Player) interface.
   To take advantage of the SiS MMPlayer, you must first install "SW MPEG
   Player".  All the SiS provided is just an interface but not a SW MPEG
   Player at present.  If the SW MPEG Player does not exist, the SiS MMPlayer
   will not work. (Xing or Mediamatics)

   To use the SiS MMPlayer, you just follow the procedures below:
   (1) In "SiS Multimedia Vx.xx" program group,
       choose "SiS MMPlayer" icon and SiS MMPlayer VCP-like icon would appear.
   (2) Enjoy the SW MPEG playback as you like.
