Requirements to run MPEGPlayer

MPEGPlayer need run under WIN 9x. For best results we recommend adjusting your display settings to use a minimum of 16 bit colour (24 bit TrueColor is recommended). Using 8-bit color can cause unusual flickering/flashing color effects. Maybe you need to install some other  device driver so that you can play AVI(need Video for windows), MOV(need QuickTime for windows), ::: etc.
