Noteworthy ZV Port/MPEG-1 Playback PC Card

This file is a reference to known limitations in the 
ZV Port/MPEG-1 playback software.

EXPERIENCING ANY VIDEO PROBLEMS
===============================
The ZV Port/MPEG-1 playback card relies very heavily on your
video controller and video drivers.  Since this is such a new
product and new technology, it is possible that your system's
video drivers need to be updated.  So, if you are experiencing 
any problem with "pink" screens, resuming under Windows for 
Workgroups 3.x, or other video related problems, you will need
to update your video drivers.  Please contact your computer 
manufacturer to get the latest drivers.  

For Toshiba notebooks, these can be downloaded from the following

	BBS:        (714) 837-4408

The Windows95 video driver version needed is C&T Ver. 4.0 (Adapter
Type : Chips and Tech. 65550 PCI) or newer

The WFW 3.11 video driver version needed is C&T Ver. 1.4 or newer. 
Please make sure to reboot the system after any vieo driver update.

VIDEO SETTINGS
==============
It is recommended due to performance and quality limitations 
that your system be configured to 256 color mode during 
playback.  The software may allow playback at 16-bit 
(32K/64K) color modes, but there could be some visible 
corruption.  The specification is for running in a 256 color 
environment only, but we are allowing the user to do 
playback at higher color depths and verify the quality for 
themselves. 

256 COLOR MODE ERROR MESSAGE
============================
If you are getting an error message stating that you need to 
be in 256 color mode and you already are in 256 color mode, 
you'll need to re-install your video drivers.  There is a file
that is not installed on your system.  Refer to the above note
regarding video problems and download the latest video drivers
to correct this problem.

HOT SWAPPING
=============
Intermittently, cards inserted in the slots on the system 
after a suspend and resume are not recognized by Card and 
Socket Services.  This is a Card and Socket Services problem 
and you may experience it with the ZV Port/MPEG-1 Playback 
PC Card as well as other PC Cards.

MPEG PLAYBACK
===============
Some higher data rate MPEGs will not playback without 
skipping.  2.4Megabits/second or higher appear to have this 
limitation.

Some MPEG clips have been found to have a skipping problem; 
frames get dropped and the audio will skip.  The problem has 
been found on clips from Lumivision Corporation.  This
problem was not found with any REALmagic titles that were
tested.

USING THE CD-ROM
=================
Do not eject the CD-ROM by pressing the button on the drive 
during MPEG playback.  Doing so causes the MPEG decoder to 
lose control and cause either the system to hang or make it 
necessary to restart CD Station or Media Player to start 
MPEG-1 playback correctly.

Some titles when ejected during playback will cause the 
mouse cursor to disappear.

TRYING TO PLAY MPEG WITHOUT THE ZV PORT CARD
==============================================
Once the ZV Port / MPEG-1 Playback software is installed, 
software MPEG cannot occur unless it is selected manually by 
using Media Player to play the .MPG file.

CONTROLLING SOUND
===================
The sound is not controlled through the ZV Port/MPEG-1 
software.  Any volume settings need to be set using either 
the operating system's sound control or the sound system
utilities.
