Service Pack Availability
Vela no longer includes Windows operating system Service Packs with Vela sys-
tem software, due to file size constraints and the increasingly frequent need to
update or patch the service packs.
To find out if your system is a candidate for a service pack or other system
upgrade, and to download the latest versions, please contact the Microsoft Web
site at www.microsoft.com.
Playback Applications
An easy-to-use Windows playback application, Vela’s “PlayAdvantage Lite,”
is included with the CineView HD Pro. It provides for basic operation of the
decoder, including the ability to play, stop, pause and resume MPEG video
clips. See Chapter 2 for Windows playback information.
