Support for Movies
Question:
How to feel movies (divX, trailers, *.avi, *.mpg, etc...) from Windows
Media Player and other players that use overlay
technology?
Answer: A simple solution is to disable hardware acceleration for your whole
system.
Go to the Control Panel,
choose DirectX,
select the Direct Draw tab, and then verify that "Use Hardware
Acceleration" is unchecked.
Summary: Disabling Hardware Acceleration System Wide (= disabling overlay technology)
If
the option to enable/disable acceleration is not available, your
video adapter might not support DirectX acceleration in hardware
or you might need to install updated drivers.
Alternative solution: watch and feel your movies with the iFeelPixel "Home Theater".
File >> Media Center >> Select a movie >> click "play" button >> click "Home Theater" button
Tip: disable iFeelPixel zoom, for better graphic performance
Disadvantage: Some graphics-intensive programs run slowly
or not at all if DirectDraw hardware acceleration is unavailable
or disabled.
Also,
DVD players usually require hardware acceleration to run.
You may not be able to watch movies from a DVD player.
Question: So, how to feel DVD movies with iFeelPixel software? New!
Answer: Either get a DVD decoder that does not use overlay technology OR allows you to
not use overlay like Nvidia DVD decoder (Free 30 days trial).
Interact
with your favorite movie or TV show!
Movie title suggestions:
Feel TV!
When using iFeelPixel in combination with a television card for
your PC, it allows you to feel live television images as they are
broadcast, or VCR recordings of the video in earlier television
broadcasts or movies.
 Note about overlay technology:
TV cards use the overlay
technology to display image. iFeelPixel can't work with the
overlay technology enabled. This method actually sends a video signal
on top of your video card in a way that the pixels are not actually
in your video card's memory. iFeelPixel grabs pixel info straight
from the video memory. Please try to disable
the Hardware Acceleration of your TV card. (Thanks to Schido
and Bill for this note)
