3.2 Video Settings
 Hardware acceleration
If the ‘Hardware Acceleration’ option is enabled, the DVD-Video image
acceleration is taken over by your graphics card. This reduces the load on the
main processor and may lead to improved video performance.
Please note that it is only possible to switch the hardware acceleration on and of
f
when there is no playback.
 Screen control
In this menu you set the appearance of the playback window at the start of Nero
ShowTime.
If the ‘Run Full-screen’ option is enabled, the film played is automatically shown
on the entire screen.
If the ‘Retain Aspect Ratio’ option is enabled, the film will be shown in its original
aspect ratio (or rather, height x width).
If the ‘Hide Video Window’ option is enabled, then the playback window is first
shown when the film is played. Prior to that time it is invisible.
3.2.1 Video Mode
In this menu you can set whether you would like to work with de-interlacing in
playback or not.
In the Interlaced Mode video images are shown as two different half-images. In
the first half-image every other image line is represented; shortly thereafter the
second half-image shows the remaining lines, so that a complete image is
suggested to the eye. Conventional TV screens use this technology, while
computer monitors work with high, non-flickering frequencies, so that they are
run without any jumping of lines.
If you detect stripes running through the image during playback of the film, you
should not enable the ‘Switch Off De-interlacing’ option.
