Playback Options
To access the Playback Options window, launch the V1 then select Options . Select the
Playback tab:
Display Options:
If you select the Begin slow motion when a new video is opened option, a video will
enter slow motion as soon as you open it. This does not apply to video opened in
Compare Mode.
Skip every other field during slow motion . On slower and/or older systems, you
may notice that slow motion is a bit too slow. When you select this option, the V1 will
skip every other field of video in an attempt to “speed up” slow motion.
The Draw directly to desktop in RGB format (no overlay) option applies to full-
speed playback. Normally, the system uses a “video overlay” (not to be confused with
the V1 feature of the same name) in order to efficiently display playback with the
highest possible quality. However, on systems configured to use external video
displays and/or VCR’s, this may result in the appearance of a “pink screen” on one of
the two displays or the video tape. When you select this option, this pink screen is
avoided at the cost of some video quality (especially on slower/older systems).
The No MJPG field reverse option applies only to video recorded using the MJPG
video compressor. The MJPG compressor is used for Legacy VfW capture devices,
and some DirectShow drivers, but is not used for DV videos captured using a
DirectShow driver (details discussed in the Live Video Options section). If your
recorded videos exhibit a behavior where the video is fine quality, except that the video
appears to step forward two, then back one, forward two, etc., then your system might
require this option.
NOTE: Changing this setting will not fix existing videos. Its effect will only be noticed
with videos recorded after the setting has been changed.
