[Preview]

Display a recently output frame as a preview.

Screen shot

In this window, one can preview the MPEG movie that is being output. The preview is one frame of the output stream, so one must be aware that the final output may look slightly different than the previewed frame. Also, previewed frame may not be the last frame output to the file.

The preview is set up via the [MPEG Settings] window. One should note that the bitrate settings don't have an effect on the preview. Therefore, the quality of the preview cannot be guaranteed.

"Refresh" Button
Refresh the preview. The preview frames are not part of a continuous stream, so the previewed frames are not always consecutive. The preview is refreshed with a rate set with the [N],[L],[H] buttons.

"Pause" Button
Temporarily pauses refreshing the preview.

"Stop" Button
Stops refreshing the preview.

"Normal Speed" Button
Refreshes the preview at the predefined "normal" speed.

"Slow Speed" Button
Refreshes the preview at the predefined "slow" speed.

"High Speed" Button
Refreshes the preview at the fastest possible speed; however, frames may be skipped if it is too burdensome on the CPU.

"Last Frame" Button
Displays the previous frame.

"Next Frame" Button
Displays the next frame.

"Filter OFF" Button
Apply the filters to the preview that were selected in the [MPEG Settings] Window. Click the button to toggle functionality of the filters.
