Some legal stuff

ATTENTION! This software may not be used with copyrighted material. The author doesn't intend to promote piracy by any means, and the scope of the application is limited to video processing tasks with home made digital video material, or with backup copies of movies that you own, if such copies are legal in your country.

This program is Free Shareware. You are allowed to use, spread and copy it freely, but you are not allowed to change, reverse-engineer or otherwise abuse it in any way. Registration fee is meant as an appreciation of my work, the unregistered version is in no way limited. (Click the REGISTER link in the left frame for details.)

I do not guarantee that this program works as intended (means: it may have bugs anywhere and anytime), and I am not to be held responsible for any damage that might occur directly or indirectly through the usage of this program.

Requirements

• CPU: depends on the type of video you are playing. For the suggested MPEG4 you need a Pentium II or faster for smooth playback, for MPEG1 a Pentium 233 MMX or faster should be enough.
• CD-ROM with fast track access time for smooth winding/jumping in the movie and to minimize skips+lag when playing multi-language
• Windows 9x/NT/2000
• Microsoft MediaPlayer 6.4 or higher. Downloadable for free from Microsoft.
• MPEG4 Video Codec ("DivX ;-)" recommended), MP3 Audio Codec (Fraunhofer recommended, included in the DivX package). This is not needed if you don't intend to use MPEG4-MP3 AVIs.
• Optionally other codecs you wish to use for playback.

Major new features in the current version

• Pan-and-Scan can be toggled on the fly now, using two configurable keys to set the desired mode and turn it on/off
• Major redesign and improvement of the Playlist Editor, and added a counterpart for INI files on your HDD: the Movie Catalog Editor, for those users who like to keep lots of movies with their INIs on HDD. The two editors are mainly like WinAmp's playlist now.
• Opening files of any kind now works intuitively with the EJECT button. Depending on the player's state (MDVD/FILE, source CD/HDD/QuickINI) you can open an INI file, compose a QuickINI, or open a single media file.
• The player can now change the screen resolution when switching to fullscreen mode.
• The font size of subtitles can now be automatically recalculated when switching to fullscreen/changing resolution, so subtitles always appear as having the same size relative to the movie width.
• The overlay support has been greatly improved. Detection of available overlay should work without any black boxes / frozen frames now.
• Transparent subtitles in window mode are now available.
• The chapterlist/playlist window now has a scrollbar if more than 35 entries have to be displayed, thus enabling it to display very large amounts of chapters/files.
• Added a Movie Information window and a Tip of the Day option
• Sub Station Alpha subtitle files are now supported.
• The player can now register file types to be automatically launched when you execute them.
• Added an option minimum vertical distance between subtitles and screen edge

Files

IMPORTANT:

The new upcoming version 1.3 of the player is currently being sold commercially, therefore download is not possible at this time.

After one and a half year of development it's now time for me to take the chance to make some real money with the player, after all I need to live too. :-) I hope you'll understand this.

The money I'm going to earn will ensure that the project can be continued later, so please wait for further versions to be released. Thanks a lot for your understanding and patience! If you have further questions, feel free to contact me!
