WHAT'S NEW IN R1.1

Expanded data range:

In the Video Format dialog, the data rate slider has been expanded to include data rates for 
playback on double- and triple-rate CD-ROM drives.  You can now choose from these ranges when 
capturing with Intel IndeoTM R3.1 Video as the compression method:

Video window size	Minimum data rate      Maximum data rate
    160x120                    80                    300
    240x180                   100                    450
    320x240                   150                    500

Added an additional capture resolution:

You can now capture 240x180 with Intel Indeo(TM) Video Raw.

WHAT'S NEW IN R1.2

Changes for developers:

 The driver now returns an error if an application calls videoOpen( ) for the VIDEO_EXTERNALOUT 
 channel.

 The driver now returns an error if an application tries to change to an unsupported resolution 
 size using videoConfigure( ).

 The driver now changes the required buffer size when the application successfully changes 
 resolution size using videoConfigure( ).

 The driver now initializes to the last-used state, or to a default state, without requiring 
 the application to explicitly set the state using videoConfigure( ).
 
 The driver now supports frame capture without streaming.

Setup:

 Setup now lets you know when your hard disk is full.

 Setup now terminates if the driver is already loaded.

 Setup now distinguishes between an old version of Video for Windows and no (missing) version 
 of Video for Windows.
 
KNOWN PROBLEMS

IRQ 10:

The new Smart Video Recorder boards don't use IRQ 10, so you won't see it as an option during 
installation.  If you have an older Smart Video Recorder Board and you want to use IRQ 10, call 
Intel Customer Support (see the back page of the Installation Guide for phone numbers).

Windows Sound System:

If you're using Windows Sound System and you're having audio problems, we recommend that you 
upgrade to Windows Sound System Release 2.0.  (To get this release, contact Microsoft.)

Input signal for PAL fails in Diagnostics:

PAL users (European video standard):  the input signal test in the Diagnostics will always 
return FAILED (whether the signal passes or not).  We know about this and will be fixing it.

Uninstalling the ProShare:

If you uninstall the ProShare(TM) Video System (release 1.0), you need to reinstall the Smart 
Video Recorder software.
