- The ICDraw filter
- =================
-
- If you have a motion JPEG card that you use to do hardware assisted playback
- of Motion JPEG compressed .AVI files, you will need to activate this filter
- in ActiveMovie in order to get hardware accelerated playback from ActiveMovie.
-
- To activate the filter, double click on the ICDRAW.REG file in the tools
- directory of the ActiveMovie SDK, or from a command prompt, type
- "regedit icdraw.reg". Now whenever you play a Motion JPEG compressed AVI,
- your hardware should be used to accelerate its playback.
-
- This may not work on your card, if the card is installed in system.ini as a
- VIDC device instead of VIDS device. If you are still having trouble, try the
- following: look in system.ini for an entry like
-
- system.ini
- [drivers]
- vidc.mjpg=driver.drv
-
- where driver.drv is the name of the decompression driver supplied by the
- manufacturer of the Motion JPEG card. Remember what the four letters after the
- "vidc." are and use them as follows to put an entry in win.ini. It may or may
- not be "mjpg" and there may be more than one you will have to try
-
- win.ini
- [ICDraw]
- TryVIDC=mjpg
-
- where "mjpg" is the four letter code you found in system.ini
-
- As a last resort, you can leave it blank after the equal sign. This will try
- every driver installed, and probably will work, but will make opening up and
- playing .AVI files (any .AVI file) take longer on your system than if you
- find the right one and specify it.

- If you as an ISV or IHV would like to redistribute this text file and the
- ICDRAW.REG file with your product, you may do so, subject to the normal
- redistribution restrictions.
