– Smooth horizontal scaling: When you select this option, WinDVD
displays a smoother video picture when the display window is
horizontally resized on graphics adapters that do not provide for
hardware scaling (enabling this feature might use extra CPU bandwidth).
– Smooth vertical scaling: When you select this option, WinDVD
displays a smoother video picture when the display window is vertically
resized on graphics adapters that do not provide hardware scaling
(enabling this feature might use some CPU bandwidth).
– Software Bob (de-interlacing): When you select this option, WinDVD
controls video “jitter” for interlaced video content (30fps), enhancing the
smoothness and sharpness of the picture.
5. You can also select the following display options:
Place a check in the Hardware Motion Compensation check box to use the
hardware motion compensation provided by your VGA card.
Place a check in the Lock Aspect Ratio check box to display the correct
ratio when you resize the video window. The screen can then only be
resized in the same dimensions as the disc format. If you do not check Lock
Aspect Ratio, the picture might be distorted when you resize the window.
Place a check in the Startup in full screen mode check box to automatically
open the WinDVD window in full-screen mode whenever you start WinDVD.
6. Click OK so that the changes take effect.
