This file contains additional information and changes that is not available
at the time of printing.
How To Setup Oscar Pro
======================
a. Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroup 3.11 must be present.
b. Install Video Galaxy Oscar Pro Software Disk 1 of 1.
How To Troubleshoot
===================
a. If MPEG cannot be played from MediaPlayer :
- quit from Windows
- look for file MPLAYER.INI under Windows dir
- erase lines like :
mpegvideo=0,...
mcivcd=0,...
- restart Windows and try again from MediaPlayer.
- This is to force MediaPlayer to re-initialise its driver listings.
b. If MPEG cannot be played from Oscar Pro Application OR
MediaPlayer, ensure the following is present :
- in SYSTEM.INI file
[mci]
mpegvideo=mcimpeg.drv
mcivcd=mcimpeg.drv
- in SYSTEM.INI file
[386Enh]
DMABUFFERSIZE=056
- in WIN.INI file
[mci extensions]
mpg=mpegvideo
dat=mpegvideo
- in WIN.INI file
[IIT_VCP]
mpp = < path to the Oscar Pro Application, e.g. C:\MPEG\ >
c. If video cannot be seen during MPEG playback, please check that the
following possibilities might occur:
1) The loopback cable (VGA Monitor Cable) or the feature connector
is not properly connected.
2) The Video Output Mode is being put to TV (NTSC/PAL) mode instead
of the VGA mode when a TV is not connected.
3) The present color key cannot be used and another color key will
have to be selected.
MCI Playback in Media Player
============================
In order to perform MCI playback in Media Player, Microsoft Video for Windows
Runtime Module has to be installed.
Color Adjustment
=================
Note that the color of the video displayed for certain MPEG playback may not
appear correct on certain VGA cards. At such occasion, go to the Video
Adjustments option under the pull-down menu and adjust the color under the
Color Adjust option.
Video Alignment
===============
a. Depending on the system used, video alignment may go off when different
VGA cards or resolutions are used. At such occasion, go to the Video Adjust-
ments option under the pull-down menu and align the video accordingly under
the Input Video Alignment option. Note that alignment can be made in the
VGA mode as well as in the TV (NTSC/PAL) mode.
Caution: If video blanking is encountered, this is an indication that the video
is over or under aligned. Alignment will have to be properly adjusted
to enable video display to be normal.
Playback of VCD/CD-Is
=====================
Please ensure that the caching capability of the smartdrive is not on if user
loads the smartdrive (that is, append '/U' behind the smartdrive command in
the autoexec.bat file).
Things That Should NOT Be Done
==============================
a. Please take note : Under Oscar Pro, the STOP button is actually a CLOSE
MPEG function. It will close down the MPEG driver. If you just want to
stop player momentarily, use the PAUSE button instead. Otherwise, you have
to reload the file or CD-i.
