README for California Graphics MPEGStar for Windows 3.x v1.0.1-02

Known problems
--------------

To improve video quality, use 256 colours, lower resolution and 
lower refresh rate.  A 2MB card will often give better quality 
at the same display mode compared to a 1MB card.

Recommended display modes for 1MB cards:
  640x480, 256 col, 85Hz or lower
  640x480, 65k col, 60Hz
  800x600, 256 col, 60Hz

Recommended display modes for 2MB cards:
  All modes listed above
  640x480, 65k col, 85Hz
  800x600, 256 col, 72Hz
  640x480, 16.7M col, 60Hz
  800x600, 65k col, 72Hz
  1024x768, 256 col, 60Hz

If Xing software MPEG playback is also installed then MCIMPEG must 
be the first device in the SYSTEM.INI [MCI] list.
i.e. install MPEGStar last to make it the default.

Do not use virtual desktop modes or SmartDesktop zoom.

Some PCs may hang on Windows restart if an overinstall is done.

Playing .MPA files or .MPV, use File Manager to associate these files 
with MPLAYER and check the WIN.INI [mci] setting for these file 
extensions.

If there is an interrupt clash, the PC may crash when an MPEG movie 
is started.  The interrupt is allocated automatically by the PCI bus 
to the GrafixStar 400 VGA card.  Check SCSI and other ISA cards are
reserved an interrupt in the System CMOS Advanced settings.

If the PC has an old v1.x PCI bus, make sure that it is set to Level 
interrupt (and not edge) in the System CMOS settings.

Only use this software with Windows 3.1 or 3.11.  Use separate software
for Windows 95.
