FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
What's new since version 2.42?
Major changes from version 2.42 to version 2.43:
Added software full screen scaling of videos and pictures.
I'm getting an "unsupported codec" message. Can support for the codec be added
to QuickView?
All AVI and MOV codecs where either the specs are available or which could be
licensed are supported. Only if you are getting the "contact the author"
message please let me know. Maybe a support for this codec is possible.
I can play the AVSEQ02.DAT file of a VideoCD under Windows but not under
DOS. Why?
Most DOS CD drivers don't support the VideoCD. You only see the directory
but the file itself cannot be accessed. You have to use the /VCD command to
view VideoCDs under DOS.
Why is QuickView so fast and so small?
All major decoding and screen handling parts are pure Assembler.
I need video playback for my DOS game or presentation software. AVI, MOV
and MPEG are the most common video formats on PCs. Is the AVI, MOV or MPEG
playback part licensable?
All QuickView parts including AVI, MOV, MPEG and FLI playback are licensable, either
as a stand alone EXE file or as a library (for Borland Pascal, Turbo C/C++
and Watcom C/C++). The price depends on the number of copies you need. Please
contact qv@multimediaware.com
with a detailed description of your needs.
Is the source code of QuickView available?
Usually not. There are libraries ready that I can modify for your needs.
Do you do custom programming?
Yes. Please contact qv@multimediaware.com
with a detailed description of your needs.
