 Abstract:  VIDEO IMAGE (MPEG, AVI) BLEEDS THROUGH TOP WINDOW


 SYMPTOM:
 When playing a video clip, users may notice that if certain
 images, programs, windows, etc. are dragged in front of the
 video clip, portions of the image may become transparent al-
 lowing the video image to show through.

 PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:
 This tip applies to the following machine types equipped
 with a S3 Trio3D video chipset and running Windows95/98 or
 WindowsNT.

   IBM PC300GL Series 6275/6285
   IBM PC300PL Series 6862/6892

   IBM Netfinity 3000 Series 8476

 The transparency will only affect one precise color in the
 window being dragged, or placed over the window containing
 the video clip. All other colors in the top window will remain
 non-transparent (solid).

 FIX:
 The color transparency condition is not a hardware or software
 defect. No fix is required.

 Each video clip specifies a "color key", or precise color value
 that the video clip will show through. The S3 Trio3D chipset
 uses this "color key" to overlay a video image with any image
 containing the same color.

 To work around this feature, simply minimize the window
 containing the video image, or any window placed over the
 video image.
