INTRODUCTION

The WV1160 disk included with this Application Note contains an updated run-time version of Microsoft Video for Windows. Video 1.1e for Windows retains all the improvements that were included in version 1.1d of Video for Windows, but does not include the low-level driver code that was licensed from Intel Corporation.

SPECIFIC FILES UPDATED IN VERSION 1.1E

The following files are changed in version 1.1e:

   Filename     Description
   --------------------------------------------------------------

   DCISVGA.DRV  This file is removed if it is found in your
                Windows\SYSTEM subdirectory.
   MSVIDEO.DLL  This file contains support for additional display
                adapters.

PREVIOUS IMPROVEMENTS TO VIDEO FOR WINDOWS

Improved palette support. The new version of MSVIDEO.DLL and the Cinepak and Indeo codecs prevent Video for Windows from having to dither 24-bit videos twice during playback.
Display Control Interface (DCI) support. DCI allows Video for Windows to provide faster and smoother playback on video adapters that use the S3, Cirrus Logic, or any one of several other chip sets. Video for Windows now supports all DCI-enabled video adapters. The performance of stretched and clipped videos is also much improved for all video adapters.
Better overall performance.
Improved simultaneous playback of two .AVI files.
Improved playback of loosely interleaved or noninterleaved files with NetWare(R) Video.
Improved performance of video playback, correcting a problem that caused shaky playback.
The compression algorithm was changed to meet the official Interactive Multimedia Association adaptive-differential-pulse-code- modulation (ADPCM) format specification fully.
A general protection (GP) fault problem was corrected. This problem occurred when you clicked embedded Video 1.1 for Windows media objects in OLE 2.0 clients.
A slight memory leak that occurred with embedded objects was corrected.

INSTALLING VIDEO 1.1E FOR WINDOWS RUN-TIME EDITION

If you received a disk with this Application Note, insert the disk in the appropriate floppy disk drive.
If you downloaded this Application Note from an online service, skip to step 2. This procedure assumes that you have already downloaded and extracted the compressed file.
From the Program Manager File menu, choose Run. In the Command Line box, type the following line and then press ENTER
```
      <source>:\setup
```
where <source> is either the letter of your floppy disk drive or the directory containing the file you downloaded from online services. For example, if you are installing from a floppy disk that you inserted in drive A:
```
      a:\setup
```
Or, for example, if you downloaded the WV1160.EXE file from online services to C:\DOWNLOAD:
```
      c:\download\setup
```
Follow the instructions in the Setup program to finish installing Video 1.1e for Windows.
