- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
-
- The WV1160 disk included with this Application Note contains an
- updated run-time version of Microsoft Video for Windows. Video 1.1e
- for Windows retains all the improvements that were included in version
- 1.1d of Video for Windows, but does not include the low-level driver
- code that was licensed from Intel Corporation.
-
- SPECIFIC FILES UPDATED IN VERSION 1.1E
- --------------------------------------
-
- The following files are changed in version 1.1e:
-
- Filename Description
- --------------------------------------------------------------
-
- DCISVGA.DRV This file is removed if it is found in your
- Windows\SYSTEM subdirectory.
- MSVIDEO.DLL This file contains support for additional display
- adapters.
-
- PREVIOUS IMPROVEMENTS TO VIDEO FOR WINDOWS
- ------------------------------------------
-
- - Improved palette support. The new version of MSVIDEO.DLL and the
- Cinepak and Indeo codecs prevent Video for Windows from having to
- dither 24-bit videos twice during playback.
-
- - Display Control Interface (DCI) support. DCI allows Video for
- Windows to provide faster and smoother playback on video adapters
- that use the S3, Cirrus Logic, or any one of several other chip
- sets. Video for Windows now supports all DCI-enabled video
- adapters. The performance of stretched and clipped videos is also
- much improved for all video adapters.
-
- - Better overall performance.
-
- - Improved simultaneous playback of two .AVI files.
-
- - Improved playback of loosely interleaved or noninterleaved files
- with NetWare(R) Video.
-
- - Improved performance of video playback, correcting a problem that
- caused shaky playback.
-
- - The compression algorithm was changed to meet the official
- Interactive Multimedia Association adaptive-differential-pulse-code-
- modulation (ADPCM) format specification fully.
-
- - A general protection (GP) fault problem was corrected. This problem
- occurred when you clicked embedded Video 1.1 for Windows media
- objects in OLE 2.0 clients.
-
- - A slight memory leak that occurred with embedded objects was
- corrected.
-
