Note:

If you identify a program that doesn’t work well with Matrox acceleration, please 

contact Matrox technical support (

see page 46

) and describe the problem. This information 

may help us come up with a fix or work-around in a future driver release.

Note:

Jerky video file playback may be the result of slow playback or recording. Slow 

recording causes frames to be dropped (frames aren’t recorded). If jerky video is caused by 
frames that were dropped during recording, the problem can only be fixed by recapturing the 
video under better conditions.

Tip:

If your computer has more than one hard disk, you may get better results if you play 

back video files from a disk other than the one where the Windows swap file is stored. The 
Windows swap file is usually stored on drive “C:”.
