Some questions on Matrox DVD Software for G400!

[ManojM]

Hi!

I am currently watching a movie on my TV and surfing the net at the same time.

I just noticed 2 things:
1) when I minimize the movie screen on the monitor then the movie runs in slow motion on TV. Why?

3) When when I am surfing and and reading a page and when I scroll down using my mouse then the movie flickers for a second. Why?

Are there any settings that I need to make in the G400 DualHead dvd Max?

Please do let me know.

Regards,
Manoj Mahtani

Hi,

Hum...Don't really know unless your network card (or modem) is using the same IRQ as your G400.

DVD uses up a great deal of CPU cycles; especially if you don't have something like a 450MHz and above P3. I would venture to put forward a hypothesis that web browsing (or any other graphics intensive activities) strips enough cycles from the CPU to cause DVD decoding to stall and results in skip frames. I am running a G400Max on my P3-450 overclocked to 504. I still see the "flicker" that you mentioned. May be I should go to a Dual P3 ... Oh well, may be next year ..

Dragging the scrollbar with the mouse is more CPU sensitive than many people think. On my machine, practically everything stops as long
as the left mouse button is held down (in Win9x at least).

Clicking the scroll bar arrows is less demanding for the system, by the way. And of course, wheather you have your mouse on the serial port, the PS/2 port or where ever also has an effect.
