MovieCD Tips & Techniques
========================
Tip #1 - How Do I Get There From Here?
--------------------------------------
If watching the video and you want to take a break, make note
of the time in the counter of the Remote Control. Click the
"Go To" button, type in the time, then click "Ok!". Exit the
program. Next time the MovieCD program is started, click on the
"Go To" button, then Ok!". You will be in exactly the same spot
when you left! Instant access, no rewinding or fast-forwarding.
Tip #2 - Screen Saver
---------------------
Click on the "Options" button on the Remote Control. Checkmark
the "Mute Audio During Slow Motion" and "Replay (Loop) Video"
and "OK!" to close the dialog box. Select a 4x "Windowed
Enlargement Style" with the "Playback Style" button, then click
"Min/Max". Single-click with the right mouse button to recall
the Remote Control, then click on "Slo-Mo". Presto! Instant
screen saver.
Tip #3 - Favorite Position
--------------------------
Move the Video Window and the Remote Control to your favorite
position on the Windows desktop. Click the "Exit" button on the
Remote Control. Go to the Motion Pixels Program Group and double-
click on the "The Motion Pixels Movie Player" icon. The Video
Window and the Remote will reappear right where you left them!
All settings are memorized when you exit the program.
Tip #4 - Play It Again, Sam!
----------------------------
In Windows '95, make sure the "Auto Insert Notification" is
enabled for the local CD-ROM drive. Each time you insert the disc,
the MovieCD will play automatically.
Tip #5 - More Movies?
---------------------
If there is more than a single AVI file on a disc, the Motion Pixels
Movie Player will show a list of all the available titles. Select the
desired video and click on OK.
Tip #6 - All These Options!
----------------------------------
If you are having problems playing the video fullscreen, use the
"Windowed Enlargement Style" options instead of the "Fullscreen
Enlargement Style" options. Select a 4x "Windowed Enlargement Style"
or "Hardware Scaling" to resize the video in a window, then click
"Min/Max" on the Remote Control. This option uses the currently
installed Windows video driver.
Tip #7 - Use The Keyboard
-------------------------
Most playback functions for video in a window have associated
"Hotkeys". For example, press CTRL+F to play the video fullscreen
or CTRL+S to play in slow-motion. See the video window control menu
for the Hotkeys.
Tip #8 - I'm Out Of Control
---------------------------
Some Remote Control playback functions (fast-forward, rewind, slow-
motion, frame advance, etc.) only work with the video in a window.
These functions are not available on the Fullscreen Enlargement Styles.
