 Media Vision Confidential				GaryL:01/25/93
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Documentation of DOS VCR features and controls, as well as warnings
 about use.  This VCR application uses the Motive library developed
 by Media Vision for DOS playback of AVI movies.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 VCR currently requires Media Vision Pro Audio Spectrum or Thunderboard/
 SoundBlaster v2.0 hardware and a VGA card, preferably one using the 
 Cirrus Logic 542X chip or supporting the VESA VGA BIOS Extension 
 (VBE v1.2).  VCR plays back movies recorded in AVI format in one of 
 the following video formats:

	raw 8/16/24-bit video
	MS 8-bit RLE video			(<64K per uncompressed frame)
	MS Video 1 (Media Vision ALF) 8/16-bit	(<64K per uncompressed frame)

 VCR plays back movies recorded with 8 or 16-bit audio at 11kHz, 22kHz,
 and 44kHz, in mono or stereo.  Note that video playback quality will
 be severely degraded at the higher data rates.

 VCR can play off of a CDROM, provided that the file is compressed for
 a data rate of <=150K/sec.

 To run VCR, type VCR, followed by the filename:

	VCR f:\space\8_bit_90\voyager.avi

 VCR will immediately start playing the movie.  While playing, there are
 several VCR-like commands available on the keypad.
