automatical selection of overlay mode

[Guest Oliver]

Hello!

 

Though it's possible to preset DVBViewer to standard or overlay mode, I'd like to see an automatical selection of that mode when starting it. When set to overlay mode there's no picture in DVBViewer while another program is already using overlay mode. DVD2AVI for example has such an automatical selection and starts in standard mode while overlay is already used by another program. BS-Player does that, too. It'd be a nice feature for DVBViewer.

Its a nice feature and could be very useful.

I also have problems with overlay ,it uses too much CPU.Unchanged setting doesn.t work.With default Windows Graph used by TV4PC i have never problems without overlay. So an option to use Windows default graph would be nice too.

I have experienced strange problem with one of the previous versions of DVBViewer when I opened a video in some player, it stole the overlay from DVBViewer .... very rare to see, indeed

 

As for "automatical selection of overlay mode" well, you don't really have control over such things unless you code your own Video renderer (and that's what are we doing right now

 

Funny thing is that this "little damn stupid Intel 840whatever" card (which I do not estimate to be worth more than $5) in my notebook can create two overlays at the same time

 

Take care,
