USING MEDIABURST MOVIE WITH OS/2 ________________________________ If you are using a supported video mode, MediaBurst Movie option runs automatically, and improves the speed and picture quality of the video clip. USING MEDIABURST MOVIE WITH WIN-OS/2 ____________________________________ The MediaBurst Movie option also works with WIN-OS/2*. However, you must first purchase and install a video application program, such as "Video for Windows 1.1" or similar software. To use Video acceleration under WIN-OS/2, you must run the PPINIT.EXE program from the WIN-OS/2 Program Manager. This file is located in the \OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM directory. To run this program: 1. Select FILE from the Program Manager Menu. 2. Select RUN. 3. Type \OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM\PPINIT.EXE, and select OK. You are now ready to use the Windows video applications from the WIN-OS/2 Program Manager. WARNING: You must run your Windows video applications from the same Program Manager session that has the PPINIT.EXE program started. If you do not run the Windows video applications from this same Program Manager session, video acceleration will not be enabled. To ensure that the PPINIT.EXE program is running, do not attempt to run the Windows video programs from your OS/2 desktop. Page 12 NOTE: Under certain circumstances, the PowerPlay Control utility will not work properly when run seamlessly on the OS/2 Desktop. to correct this problem, change the settings for the utility's minimize button behavior. To do this: 1. Display the pop-up menu for the seamless PowerPlay Utility by pressing mouse button 2. 2. Select the arrow to the right of OPEN; then select SETTINGS. 3. Select WINDOW. 4. Select MINIMIZE WINDOW TO DESKTOP. 5. Close the Settings notebook for the seamless PowerPlay utility. When you start the utility, it will be displayed as an icon on the OS/2 desktop. Select the PowerPlay utility icon and press Enter to display the window. The PowerPlay utility will now work properly. The following WIN-OS/2 settings have been found to be useful for sound cards: Page 13 HW_TIMER = ON IDLE_SENSITIVITY = 100 INI_DURING_IO = ON VIDEO_RETRACE_EMULATION = OFF To change these settings, do the following: 1. Display the pop-up menu for the seamless PowerPlay Utility by pressing mouse button 2. 2. Select the arrow to the right of OPEN; then select SETTINGS. 3. Select SESSION. 4. Select WIN-OS/2 SETTINGS. 5. Change the settings as required; then select SAVE. 6. Close the Settings notebook for the seamless PowerPlay utility. ERROR MESSAGES ______________ MESSAGE 1: The PowerPlay driver was not loaded because there is not enough video memory in this display mode. PROBLEM: PowerPlay driver fails to load during initialization because there is not enough video Page 14 memory remaining for the driver to use in the selected display mode. SOLUTION: Change to a different display mode, for example 800X600X64K colors. MESSAGE 2:The PowerPlay driver was not loaded because another session is using the MediaBurst Option hardware. There are two potential problems that can cause this: PROBLEM 1: The PM PowerPlay driver has been loaded. SOLUTION: Perform these steps: 1. Close the seamless PowerPlay application that was loaded when the PowerPlay driver failed to load. 2. Close all other PowerPlay applications that are active. 3. Restart the seamless PowerPlay application. PROBLEM 2: A seamless session already has PowerPlay loaded. This can be verified by running the PowerPlay utility. The utility will display an error message if the PowerPlay driver is not present. Page 15 SOLUTION: There are two ways to resolve this problem: o Close the seamless session that has PowerPlay loaded; then start the PowerPlay application that you want to use. o Change the Settings notebook for the seamless PowerPlay application to disable the SEPARATE SESSION setting. 1. Display the pop-up menu for the seamless PowerPlay session by pressing mouse button 2. 2. Select the arrow to the right of OPEN; then select SETTINGS. 3. Select SESSION. 4. Deselect the checkbox next to SEPARATE SESSION. NOTE: This will only work if the seamless session that has the PowerPlay driver loaded does not require a separate session. MESSAGE 3: The current hardware configuration does not support SVGA. PROBLEM: The VESA SVGA BIOS extension and DMQS files were not updated before attempting to install the MESSAGE 4: The PowerPlay driver is not installed. There are two causes of this problem: PROBLEM 1: The PPINIT.EXE program has not been started. SOLUTION: Run the PPINIT.EXE program from the WIN-OS/2 Program Manager, and then restart the program from the same Program Manager session. PROBLEM 2: You are attempting to run in an unsupported video mode, such as 640X480X16777216. SOLUTION: Change to a supported video mode. For instructions, refer to "SELECT RESOLUTION SUPPORTED BY MEDIABURST OPTION" on page 10. Page 16 Enhanced Local Bus Graphics IBM OS/2 2.11 Device Driver Diskette. SOLUTION: Refer to "UPDATE THE VESA SVGA BIOS EXTENSION AND DMQS FILES" on page 4. Then continue with installing the Enhanced Local Bus Graphics IBM OS/2 2.11 Device Driver Diskette.
