II. Introduction

   The VFW 1.1d Run-time contains the files necessary to play back video for 
   Windows clips.  These  files include the set of drivers, dynamic-link 
   libraries(DLLs), and applications that are installed in a user's system.

   Video playback means that you can freely play, stop, pause, forward, and 
   backward the Windows clips (e.g. AVI files) in Media Player. 

   The Display Control Interface (DCI) for the Microsoft Windows operating 
   system is a driver-level software interface which provides access to 
   display devices while maintaining compatibility with Windows GDI.  
   It works with the upcoming version of Windows (code-named Chicago) and 
   in Windows 3.1.  DCI provides a device-independent way for Windows 
   subsystem software such as 3-D graphics packages, games interface packages,
   or digital video codecs to access display device-dependent features.  
	
   After setting up VFW 1.1d Run-time and DCI drivers, you can play back video
   for Windows clips with the VideoBlitz III AV's display driver.   You can 
   change to any resolution and colors that display driver supports and use 
   Media Player to playback AVI files.

III. How to setup DCI on your system:

   DCI comes with a Video for Windows 1.1d Run-time version.
   You MUST install this new version of VfW prior to installing your DCI.

   (1) You should install the VideoBlitz III AV Windows display driver (in 
       Disk #1) before installing Video for Windows 1.1d Run-time.
 
   (2) To install Video for Windows 1.1d Run-Time 
       Insert the VideoBlitz III AV Utility Program Disk #4, Video for Windows 
       1.1d Run-time disk, and run setup.

   (3) Open and play an AVI file.

	Examples: Indeo(tm) Video R3.1, Cinepak, MSVideo.


IV. RFMDCI.DRV

   RFMDCI.DRV is an enhanced DCI Provider that supports the Pixel Formatter
   in S3 868/968 graphics chips.

   (555 & 565), and 32 (x888) modes.  It takes advantage of hardware scaling,
   dithering, color space conversion and filtering in S3 868/968.
