DirectDraw support
The DirectDraw option affects operation of the Video Viewer. AVWorks software supports
DirectDraw, a standard that allows direct manipulation of video display memory, hardware blitting,
hardware overlays and page flipping without the intervention of the Graphical Device Interface
(GDI). This may result in smoother animation and improvement in the performance of display-
intensive software.
However, if your machine has a software cursor or pointer shadow enabled, or if your video driver
does not support DirectDraw, you may experience a flicker in your mouse cursor when over the
title bar of the Video Viewer. You may either disable the software cursor or pointer shadow, load a
new driver for your video card or disable DirectDraw.
To view or change DirectDraw support:
1. Select Tools - Options from the Explorer menu. The General Options dialog box appears.
2. In the DirectDraw field, enable or disable the DirectDraw checkbox.
3. Click another tab to change additional options.
