Video and VR playback takes quite a bit of computer power. Try clicking on the square video resize button in the upper right-hand corner. This will make the playback window smaller and thus smoother in playback.

There're two reasons. First one is speed slack. Probably your computer has not enought speed to decompress video and audio information in realtime. The other reason can be non-DMA file reading of large blocks. When you computer is transfering large data blocks from some device by using PIO (non-DMA) mode, CPU can't do anything but transfering. Check drivers for DMA mode which must be enabled or set read block size to 64KB so then memory halting periods become very short (invisible).

Each viewer gets his own video stream. Each stream slows down a little to allow another one to be squeezed through the upload pipe. As of March 2005, under ideal conditions AND if you're the only one watching, you'll get 2 frames per second. We are bandwidth-constrained and when we have more available this will increase. Someone else is controlling the camera. They have ten minutes from the time they start. You'll see a little count-down clock showing you when control will pass to you.

You should check the DMA settings of your DVD drive and hard disk. DMA ( Direct Memory Access ) will dramatically reduce the CPU usage when transferring data. If a high speed drive is not using DMA, it will never reach it's rated speed. This results in decreased performance, since the DVD device depends entirely upon the speed of the CPU. You can download a free utility DVDSpeed to test your DVD drive's real speed. If it's lower than 3x, DVDIdle cannot work properly.

Drawing GUI on top of the video doesn't flicker. This enables on-screen displays to be drawn over the live TV images. It can work in Direct3D exclusive mode which means the entire machine is set to fullscreen and no background application are allowed access to the video hardware. Under Direct3D Exclusive Mode, less CPU is required to play videos and depending on the resolution of the video, playback may be smoother. Exclusive mode is also required to stop tearing. No.

The video frame rate (vid/aud tab) you selected for your video may not correlate well with the framerate of the source material. The video motion looks smoothest when the video frame rate you set (vid/aud tab) is equal to, or a factor of, the source video framerate (a factor of a number is a whole number which can be multiplied by another whole number to equal the original number).

On most machines, an Apple feature called DirectDraw affects the QuickTime display. Video playback on secondary monitors for some systems may play better with this on, and others with it off. You should experiment with these settings to see which one works best for your system. To get to these QuickTime settings: If you still experience jumpy playback, try setting QuickTime to Safe Mode from the same Preference dialog.

For a 56k modem user make sure to choose low bandwidth under the media setting. For cable modem, dsl, or faster connection you can choose low or high bandwidth. The media setting is located directly under the movie window and may be changed at any time. Your current setting is saved to your account each time you adjust the setting.

Please keep in mind that video playback is a fairly demanding on your computer. This is especially true if you are playing multiple clips back to back, like you do when using the video montage builder. Here are some tips to improve the performance of video playback in MixMeister Pro: Try placing the video clips on a different physical hard drive than the one that has your Windows installation. This is especially true for laptops. Try using clips in an alternate format.

No. Even though shared video applications are visible to guests, the frame rate will be lower and no sound will be sent. This is similar to other web conferencing solutions.

Using a video capture module, you can put your current video library onto your computer. This process allows for translation, recording and compressing your video onto your hard drive in real time. Although this is more time consuming, you can use any external source, whether it be DVD, VHS, 8mm, etc., and have more flexibility on the quality and format of your digital conversion.

How long is a piece of string? Sorry to be flippant, but there are so many externally limiting factors at work that it is impossible to say for sure. The main factors impacting on playback time are the length and size of the video and the speed of your and you users connection to the Internet. You can modify the amount of the video to pre-buffer by changing the 'buffer_size' paremetar. You can read more here.

Use a numberic key to jump to a certain percentage of the video. Eg. Press "17", the video will load to 17% of the duration of the video.

There are many different video players out there to choose from, and depending on the video type you are trying to view, some are better than others. Here is a short list of media players we recommend:

Check the connection speed RealPlayer is configured for. Run RealPlayer, open Options->Preferences, and select the Connection tab. Make sure Normal Bandwidth is set to the speed you usually connect to the Internet and that Maximum Bandwidth is set to the maximum speed you can connect to the Internet. Check the buffer length in RealPlayer. Run RealPlayer, open Options->Preferences, and select the Connection tab.Choose the Buffer at least option and enter an appropriate number.

In the tool panel of the TrackerCam Program, there is a heading labeled [Tracking]. Under that, click the first icon (of a target box). A window titled [TrackerCam: Surveillance and viewpoint settings] will appear. Select the [Playback] tab and click on [Surveillance viewer]. Click on browse and select the file you wish to view and then click on show once you are done to view the specified file.

The minimum requirements for your video graphics card is 32 MB RAM. If you have less RAM than required, PowerPlug's performance could be slow. Otherwise, try setting your PowerPoint show resolution lower.
