If your system is not capable of achieving smooth-looking video, try the following: Record I frames only. Record using a smaller frame size. ATI VCR is best suited for Personal Video Recorder use. MPEG-1 decoders are widely used, so video encoded in MPEG-1 format can be played on many PCs. However, MPEG-1 playback on a PC uses the Microsoft MPEG-1 decoder, which may not provide the best performance. MPEG-2 playback on a PC requires an MPEG-2 decoder. With ATI graphics cards, MPEG-2 decoders use the ATI hardware IDCT and motion compensation, which provides higher resolution video playback and less CPU loading than the Microsoft MPEG-1 decoder.

MULTVIEW

If you have an ATI ALL-IN-WONDER card and an ATI TV WONDER PCI card installed, MULTVIEW lets you watch a different channel in a secondary video window. You can record video from your ALL-IN-WONDER card while you watch another channel on the TV WONDER.

Using third-party conversion tools available on the Internet, you can easily convert other subtitle file formats into MicroDVD and SubViewer 2.0 format.
MicroDVD requires a value for frames per second; if the DVD movie does not indicate the frame rate, try these standard values: 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 30.
You can display external subtitles over the video or in a separate window. When you display subtitles in a separate window, you can double-click the external subtitle text to jump to that point in the movie.
