IBM PC / Netfinity 3000 - Video image (MPEG, AVI) bleeds through top window
Applicable to: World-Wide
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 allowing 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 Windows 95/98 or Windows NT.
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.
