INTRODUCTION
------------
The WV1160 disk included with this Application Note contains an
updated run-time version of Microsoft Video for Windows. Video 1.1e
for Windows retains all the improvements that were included in version
1.1d of Video for Windows, but does not include the low-level driver
code that was licensed from Intel Corporation.
SPECIFIC FILES UPDATED IN VERSION 1.1E
--------------------------------------
The following files are changed in version 1.1e:
Filename Description
--------------------------------------------------------------
DCISVGA.DRV This file is removed if it is found in your
Windows\SYSTEM subdirectory.
MSVIDEO.DLL This file contains support for additional display
adapters.
PREVIOUS IMPROVEMENTS TO VIDEO FOR WINDOWS
------------------------------------------
- Improved palette support. The new version of MSVIDEO.DLL and the
Cinepak and Indeo codecs prevent Video for Windows from having to
dither 24-bit videos twice during playback.
- Display Control Interface (DCI) support. DCI allows Video for
Windows to provide faster and smoother playback on video adapters
that use the S3, Cirrus Logic, or any one of several other chip
sets. Video for Windows now supports all DCI-enabled video
adapters. The performance of stretched and clipped videos is also
much improved for all video adapters.
- Better overall performance.
- Improved simultaneous playback of two .AVI files.
- Improved playback of loosely interleaved or noninterleaved files
with NetWare(R) Video.
- Improved performance of video playback, correcting a problem that
caused shaky playback.
- The compression algorithm was changed to meet the official
Interactive Multimedia Association adaptive-differential-pulse-code-
modulation (ADPCM) format specification fully.
- A general protection (GP) fault problem was corrected. This problem
occurred when you clicked embedded Video 1.1 for Windows media
objects in OLE 2.0 clients.
- A slight memory leak that occurred with embedded objects was
corrected.
INSTALLING VIDEO 1.1E FOR WINDOWS RUN-TIME EDITION
--------------------------------------------------
1. If you received a disk with this Application Note, insert the disk
in the appropriate floppy disk drive.
If you downloaded this Application Note from an online service,
skip to step 2. This procedure assumes that you have already
downloaded and extracted the compressed file.

box, type the following line and then press ENTER
<source>:\setup
where <source> is either the letter of your floppy disk drive or
the directory containing the file you downloaded from online
services. For example, if you are installing from a floppy disk
that you inserted in drive A:

Or, for example, if you downloaded the WV1160.EXE file from online
services to C:\DOWNLOAD:
c:\download\setup
3. Follow the instructions in the Setup program to finish installing
