    WINDOWS COMPATIBILITY

    
       The Intel Smart Video Recorder Windows drivers require Microsoft Windows
    
       v3.1 or higher.  Windows versions 3.0 and below are not compatible with
    
       the Intel Smart Video Recorder Windows drivers.
    
    
    
       Windows 3.1 or higher must be run in enhanced mode in order for Video
    
       for Windows to capture video images.
    
    
    
       The following table provides a list of Windows versions and their
    
       compatibility with the Intel Smart Video Recorder.
    
    
    
       Windows Version                        Compatibility Status
    
    
    
       Windows 3.0                            Not Compatible
    
       Windows 3.1                            Compatible
    
       Windows NT                             Not Compatible
    
    
    
    

    MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT

    
       Microsoft Windows NT is incompatible with the Intel Smart Video
    
       Recorder.
    
    
    
    

    WINDOWS APPLICATIONS - GENERAL NOTES

    
       Because the Intel Smart Video Recorder requires Microsoft Windows v3.1
    
       or higher, any Windows application that will run in Windows 3.1 Enhanced
    
       mode and supports the AVI file format should work with the Intel Smart
    
       Video Recorder and video images captured with Video for Windows.
    
    
    
    

    USING VIDEO IN PRESENTATIONS

    
       Once you have created a video clip, the next step is to use it.  Many
    
       popular programs support the inclusion of video clips.  
    
    
    
       The first step to placing a video clip inside a document is to use Media
    
       Player to put the object in the Windows Clipboard.  To do this:
    
    
    
         1. Locate the Media Player icon in the Video for Windows group and
    
            double-click on it.
    
    
    
         2. Use the FILE and OPEN... menu selections to open your video clip
    
            from Media Player.
    
    
    
         3. Use the pop-up window to find and select your video clip.
    
    
    
         4. Select COPY OBJECT from the EDIT menu.
    
    
    
         5. Once you have a video clip in the Windows Clipboard it is usually
    
            just a few steps to place that clip into a document.  The
    
            documentation you received with your program will contain more
    
            detailed information on how to do this and how to use video clip
    
            objects.

       Once you have a video clip in the Windows Clipboard it is usually just a
    
       few steps to place that clip into a document.  Here's one way to do it
    
       in PowerPoint.  Note that you can also use the Insert command.
