- Installation of MPEG Playback Support OS/2 Warp 4.0 on Thinkpad 760ED
-
- Revised 12/03/96
- by Jim Wilkerson
-
- This procedure is for installing the Enhanced Video features for OS/2 Warp on
- the IBM Thinkpad 760ED machines only. It is designed to work for OS/2 Warp 4.0
- only.
-
-
- *** Preliminary Setup ***
-
- The Thinkpad should be placed on AC power prior to beginning the installation.
- Failure to do so can cause various inconsistencies in the installation which
- will prevent the system from functioning normally.
-
- The Thinkpad must be removed from any dock stations for installation.
-
- The Thinkpad must have functional OS/2 Multimedia, Mwave, and Trident
- CYBER9385/82 video support installed prior to installing the Enhanced Video
- support.
-
-
- *** Extraction of the Drivers from the Device Driver CD ***
-
- Obtain the file TPW4_G2.EXE from the OS/2 Warp Device Driver Pak CD-ROM which
- comes with the OS/2 Warp 4.0 package. This file can be accessed either through
- a WEB browser at
-
- file:///x:/html/multimef/ibmcorpo/thinkqbf/index.htm
-
- or from the x:\DRIVERS subdirectory on the CD-ROM itself (x: is the drive
- letter for the the CD-ROM).
-
- Place this file in a temporary directory and execute it. It will self extract
- itself into several files. From this group of files, locate the file
- 760EDMPG.ZIP. Place it in a temporary directory, and extract it using any
- utility that will handle the .ZIP compression format. From this set of files,
- locate the file TRIMPEGE.ZIP and extract it (this can be done in the same
- directory as was used for 760EDMPG.ZIP).
-
-
- *** Installation ***
-
- Using the Multimedia Application Install object from the Install/Remove folder
- in the System Setup folder, direct the source drive and path to the subdirectory
- where the MPEG drivers were extracted in the previous step. Select the Trident
- Video Capture and ThinkPad MPEG Features 2. Click OK and proceed with the
- installation. After the installation completes, shutdown and re-boot the
- system. Verify that the following lines were installed in CONFIG.SYS:
-
- DEVICE=x:\MMOS2\TRIDVC.SYS
- DEVICE=x:\MMOS2\MPEGIF2.SYS
- DEVICE=x:\MMOS2\IBMMPEGE.SYS
-
-
- where x is the drive in which OS/2 Warp is installed. Verify that the
- following objects were added to the Multimedia folder:
-
- Digital Video 2
- Digital Video 3
- Video CDI Player
-
-
- *** Performance Considerations ***
-
- The Thinkpad video color depth must be set to 256 colors in order for MPEG
- playback to function properly.
-
- Do not suspend/hibernate the Thinkpad with the MPEG player open in any manner
- (file list, paused, or playing). Doing so will cause the system to hang after
- resume.
