It allows you to store up to 10 videos in memory, all playable at the touch of a button -- simply click on the 'Select/Store Video' button and then the 'Play Video' button. No more hunting through directories each time you want to play your favorite video clips. The names of the stored clips are displayed on the screen so they are easy to remember. Quickly browse through all videos in a directory. It also allows you to switch between Full Screen mode and Window mode for displaying video. It features a drag bar to 'scroll' through the video as it is updated in real time, along with standard stop, play, and rewind controls. Advanced features include: freeze frame control, play in reverse, and capture and save frozen image as BMP. Much more convenient than the standard media player. Registration fee of $29 brings you a CD-ROM filled with screen-shattering video clips, and the video screen saver, Full Motion. These clips bring your system to life with rollercoasters, speedboats, skiiing, skydiving, airplanes, waterfalls, the space shuttle, and more! See the 'Video CD Offer' button for details. ============================================= Troubleshooting: ================ If you receive an error message "EMCI device error" when you try to run VLP 2.3, it means you do not have Microsoft Video for Windows installed. You can download this from AOL, Compuserve, or our web page (www.galttech.com). It is a free download. After you install it, your system will be video ready and VLP 2.3 will run without difficulties.
