Indeo(tm) Video R3.2/QuickTime for Windows 2.0 Release V3.22.23.04 Intel Raw Video R1.1/QuickTime for Windows 2.0 Update V1.10.23.01 04 October 1994 Description: ------------ These QuickTime for Windows components supports Indeo Video Release 3.2 and Intel Raw Video Release 1.1 under QuickTime for Windows 2.0. Using the Indeo R3.2 QuickTime for Windows Component ---------------------------------------------------- This decompressor can play back Indeo Video R3.1 and R3.2 videos converted to .MOV format from .AVI format using Intel's SmartCap utility. It can also play back movies created on the Macintosh using the Indeo Video Release R3.1 and R3.2 codecs. Videos created on the Macintosh must be saved as "Single Fork" files and "Self Contained" before they can be played under QuickTime for Windows. Features of this update include: * decompresses videos with sizes from 16x16 to 640x480. * supports color depths of 8, 16, and 24 * supports the fast display modes "Hardware" and "Driver" for normal and 2x-Zoom playback. * supports arbitrarily stretched and odd dimensioned videos using the "RAW" display mode. * recognizes when the "Indeo Palette" is used and supports the fast 8-bit Indeo CLUT color converter. Using the Intel Raw Video QuickTime for Windows Component --------------------------------------------------------- This decompressor can play back Intel Raw videos converted to ".MOV" format from ".AVI" format using Intel's SmartCap utility. It can also play back movies created on the Macintosh using the Intel Raw Video codec. Videos created on the Macintosh must be saved as "Single Fork" files and "Self Contained" before they can be played under QuickTime for Windows. Features of this update include: * decompresses videos with sizes from 16x16 to 640x480. * supports color depths of 8, 16, and 24 * supports the fast display modes "Hardware" and "Driver" for normal and 2x-Zoom playback. * supports arbitrarily stretched and odd dimensioned videos using the "RAW" display mode. Display Modes: -------------- QuickTime for Windows has three display modes that all decompressors support: "RAW", "Driver", and "Hardware". "RAW" is the slowest and most general method. It is used when stretching to odd sizes. The "Hardware" display mode is the fastest mode because the decompressor writes directly to the "Hardware". In color depth 16 "Hardware" and "Driver" are supported for bit packings 5/5/5 and 5/6/5. They are not supported for either 6/6/4 or 6/5/5. QuickTime for Windows allows the user to request a display mode. If the requested mode is supported it is used. Otherwise, the next fastest mode that is supported is used. Hardware is the default display mode. To change the default, modify the QTW.INI file. Change (or add) the Optimize definition in the [Video] section. In the following example Optimize is set to Driver: [Video] Optimize="Driver" If QuickTime for Windows is having trouble working with your video card you may want to request that it use the "Driver" output mode. Changes since Indeo Video V3.22.22.03 ------------------------------------- 1) The CODE segments were marked as DISCARDABLE to improve overall system performance. 2) 16-bit playback quality was improved for "Hardware" and "Driver" playback. 3) DecompressFlags and FormatFlags in the CodecInfo structure were corrected. Changes since Intel Raw Video V1.10.22.00 ----------------------------------------- 1) 8-bit playback performance and quality were improved for normal and 2x-Zoom "Hardware" and "Driver" playback. 2) 16-bit playback performance and quality were improved for normal and 2x-Zoom "Hardware" and "Driver" playback. 3) This component can decompress movies with odd dimensions (width and/or height not a multiple of four). 4) The CODE modules were marked as DISCARDABLE to improve overall system performance Software Prerequisites: ----------------------- * Windows 3.1 * QuickTime for Windows 1.1 or 2.0 Optimum System Requirements: ---------------------------- For the highest image quality and playback, the following system requirements are recommended: * Pentium(TM) or Intel486 DX2/66 processor * System RAM: 12+ MB * Local bus SCSI hard drive. For best frame rate performance, use a local bus 8-bit graphics card. For best image quality, use a local bus 16-bit graphics card. Based on the application and the size of the video file, some performance tuning of your computer's resources may be required. ----------------- * Other brands and names are the property of their respective owners
