guaranteed to work with this driver. Only the “Media Player”
application (
mplay32.exe
) is tested and verified.
If you have already installed Active Movie and Internet Explorer
3.01, included in the Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3, you see
the following caution after installing the MPEG-2 driver and
starting Windows NT again:
Caution
Some of the file types usually associated with ActiveMovie
are currently associated with other programs.
Because of
this, you may be unable to play certain types of
multimedia files.
Do you want to fix this (by restoring
the file type to ActiveMovie)?
Select No and click on Don't ask this question again.
Running more than one video application sharing the same video
hardware is not supported. For example, while an MPEG file is
playing, the video capture application does not work. Also, you
cannot play an ActiveMovie while an MPEG media player
application is running.
If IBM MPEG-2 Decoder is selected on the Device menu on the
Media Player application, you cannot open another Media Player
for Sound/MIDI/Video for Windows/CD Audio. If you need to use
other devices concurrently with an MPEG device on Media
Player, select these devices first before selecting the IBM
MPEG-2 Decoder.
You can display a video window to an external CRT or to a TV
with the NTSC or PAL color standard:
The following are not supported, however:
– Any resolution/color depth at the 47/87 refresh rate
– 800
×
600/16M colors with any refresh rate (video memory
limitation)
– 1600
×
1200/any colors with any refresh rate (video memory
limitation)
– 16 colors with any resolution, refresh rate
While an MPEG file is playing through Media Player, suspend
and resume are not supported. You need to pause or stop the
playback mode before entering suspend mode.
