- Known problems with Motion Pixels
- ---------------------------------
- Diamond driver problem with S3 video chipset. At the end of the MVI video
- clip, the computer will hang, or give an EMM386 error, or the next time you
- press the play button it will hang the computer. There is a bug in the
- Diamond Windows driver which can be solved in either two ways. Use the
- Number Nine S3 video drivers or upgrade Windows 3.x to Windows 95.
-
- Incompatible RAM DAC. Some video chipsets and video BIOS's support 32k
- colors, but the RAM DAC does not. The video will play in the correct size
- but the colors will not be correct. The user must upgrade the RAM DAC or
- play the video in a pallettized mode, or upgrade the video card.
-
- Video hangs for no reason under Windows 95. An internal memory corruption
- has occurred in the video source. Microsoft has indicated that they have
- seen this problem before, and relate it to a hardware condition.
-
- Incompatible Hercules driver. Hercules drivers for the Dynamite ET4000
- video chipset at 640x480 16 colors, will start the display memory at page
- four. No video will be seen. Upgrade the video drivers, or upgrade to
- Windows 95.
-
- Incompatible ATI Mach64 BIOS. Trying to play the MVI video will result in
- an internal Windows error. The ATI Mach64 BIOS will generate a page fault
- setting the video mode in protected mode under Windows 3.x. Upgrade to
- Windows 95.
-
- I/O port conflict under Windows. A sound driver under Windows has full
- control of the I/O port, and will not share it with any other VM machine.
- Disable the driver, usually the midi SAPI drivers or upgrade the driver to
- one that supports virtual I/O sharing.
-
- Pauses during video playback under Windows 95. Windows 95 has a resource
- sharing problem. Disable virtual memory under System/Performance/Virtual
- Memory.
-
- Cannot lock memory using Qemm 7.04. Qemm DPMI has a bug for addressing
- physical memory above the DPMI's host memory. Upgrade Qemm to version 7.5,
- or Windows 95.
-
- Video does not play. Disable the 32bit disk and file access under virtual
- memory settings, or upgrade to Windows 95.
-
- Audio has pauses during playback. If Motion Pixels is using 4bit ADPCM
- compressed sound, some sound blaster compatible cards are not true compatibles.
- Install a new sound card or play the video with no sound.
-
- Video hangs during MVI playback when the Windows 95 screen saver kicks in.
- Disable the Windows 95 screen saver.
-
- Using Micosoft Plus 95 with the show full window drag option, it leaves trails
- behind in Video For Windows. This is a Video for Windows problem. Disable
- show full window drags in Display/Plus.
