-----------------
o Can support a resolution up to 800x600.
o No support for CD-I.
o Note that some systems' HDMA do not work properly.
o Playback from CD-ROM on low end system exhibits poor performance due
to high overhead in OS/2 MPEG architecture.
o Playback of Video-CD is smoother than MPEG files on CDROM drive.
o Multiple seeks before current seek is complete can cause the Media
Player's buttons to be disabled.
Special Notes
-------------
o If you encounter video jerkiness during playback, you may like
to specify /Z option for MP400VID.SYS driver in CONFIG.SYS. However,
this option may not work on some MPEG streams.
