Movie CD Tips & Techniques
==========================
Tip #1 - How Do I Get There From Here?
--------------------------------------
If watching the video and you want to take a break, make note of the time
in the counter of the Remote Control. Click the "Go To" button, type in
the time, then click "Ok!". Exit the program. Next time the Movie CD
program is started, click on the "Go To" button, then Ok!". You will be
in exactly the same spot when you left! Instant access, no rewinding or
fast-forwarding.
Tip #2 - Screen Saver
---------------------
Click on the "Options" button on the Remote Control. Checkmark the
"Mute Audio During Slow Motion" and "Replay (Loop) Video" and "OK!" to
close the dialog box. Select a 4x "Windowed Enlargement Style" with the
"Playback Style" button, then click "Min/Max". Single-click with the
right mouse button to recall the Remote Control, then click on "Slo-Mo".
Presto! Instant screen saver.
Tip #3 - Favorite Position
--------------------------
Move the Video Window and the Remote Control to your favorite position
on the Windows desktop. Click the "Exit" button on the Remote Control.
Go to the Motion Pixels Program Group and double-click on the "The Motion
Pixels Movie Player" icon. The Video Window and the Remote will reappear
right where you left them! All settings are memorized when you exit the
program.
Tip #4 - Play It Again, Sam!
----------------------------
In Windows '95, make sure the "Auto Insert Notification" is enabled for
the local CD-ROM drive. Each time you insert the disc, the Movie CD will
play automatically.
Tip #5 - More Movies?
---------------------
If you have several different Movie CD's, the Motion Pixels Movie Player
will show a list of all the available titles. Insert the desired Movie CD,
and click on the appropriate title.
Tip #6 - All These Options!
----------------------------------
If you are having problems playing the video fullscreen, use the "Windowed
Enlargement Style" options instead of the "Fullscreen Enlargement Style"
options. Select a 4x "Windowed Enlargement Style" or "Hardware Scaling" to
resize the video in a window, then click "Min/Max" on the Remote Control.
This option uses the durrently installed Windows video driver.
Tip #7 - Use The Keyboard
-------------------------
Most playback fucntions for video in a window have associated "Hotkeys".
For example, press CTRL+F to play the video fullscreen or CTRL+S to play
in slow-motion. See the video window control menu for the Hotkeys.
Tip #8 - I'm Out Of Control
---------------------------
Some Remote Control playback functions (fast-forward, rewind, slow-motion,
frame advance, etc.) only work with the video in a window. These functions
are not available on the Fullscreen Enlargement Styles.
