RECOMMENDED: -AVI accelerating video card like: Video Logic's 928Movie or ATI Graphics Pro Turbo. -800x600x65536 video mode (or better). -75Hz vertical refresh rate (or better). -For best Intel INDEO Video quality, I suggest the Intel INDEO Runtime (IV32RT.EXE or newer) available at: FILE: IV32RT.EXE SITE: ftp.intel.com DIR: /pub/PCandNetworkSupport/Smart_Video_Recorder This runtime, if you choose to install it, must be installed AFTER the MS Video for Windows. * In general, the better the hardware, the smoother & bigger the AVI playback is. (You probably already knew that) INSTALLATION: 1) Install the MS Video for Windows Runtime. 2) If available, install the Intel INDEO Runtime. 3) If available, install the Quick Time For Windows Runtime. When you UnZIP QTW11.ZIP, read the installation instructions in README.TXT. 4) UnZIP the AVIVIE42.ZIP file on a diskette or any hard drive directory EXCEPT the one pointed to by TEMP and/or TMP in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. i.e. If there's a line in your AUTOEXEC like: SET TEMP=C:\TEMP or SET TMP=C:\TEMP then DON'T UnZIP the file in C:\TEMP !!! 5) Run the SETUP.EXE you just uncompressed. * After installation is complete, it's a good idea to set the AVI View item's WORKING DIRECTORY property in the PROGRAM MANAGER to your AVI directory. *** If you have any questions, comments, or complaints, send them via E-MAIL to kmp@ix.netcom.com Happy Viewing !!!
