Requires Microsoft's DirectX 8 or later. - Pressing Subtitles on the remote control (CTRL+c) will select the next subtitle in both DVDs and AVIs (for AVIs, if subtitles files are defined to the player). - The On-Screen Display (OSD) will show the language of the audio or the subtitle for DVDs rather than a number.

To force a 4:3 display ratio you can add a DWORD entry Mp4AspectRatio and give it the value 1 under the Registry entry : HKey_Local_Machine\Software\SigmaDesigns\REALmagic\20\DirectShow BUT PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THIS WILL AFFECT ALL MPEG4 FILES WITH CORRECT ASPECT RATIO IN THEIR HEADERS. - Support for DivX subtitles : MicroDvd (files with extensions SUB or TXT), Subrip (files with SRT extension), and Subviewer (extension SUB). A time offset counter is implementd to balance subtitles files with a time offset. - Support for a new PAL Auto Frequency TV ouput : this mode will output the PAL movies as PAL 50 signal and the NTSC movies as PAL 60 signal. - Support for AVI files larger than 2 GB on systems that support these sizes. - A new feature is added in Xmedia Player (XMP). If you play an MPEG file or AVI file with multiple audio streams, it plays the first stream. Pressing CTRL+A on the keybard or the Language button on the Remote Control will switch to the next audio stream. Subsequent presses will go next and back to first. - A DivX file encoded with version 5.03 of DivX and a frame height or width not multiple of 16 will show some distortion during playback. - No planned support for DivX 3.11 AVI files. CLARIFICATION NOTE ABOUT DVD MOVIES REGION CODES : ------------------------------------------------ The program "DVD Drive Region" in the REALmagic Group of Win98 is for setting the region code of the RPC2 DVD-ROM drives. The region code on the REALmagic NS4K is irrelevant in this case. (Under Win 2K/XP, use Device Manager). If you don't have an RPC2 drive (ie using an RPC1 drive), then the region code of the movie will be compared against the region code of REALmagic NS4K. This can be set by running SETUP from \Apps\Disk1 and select the second option in the menu : 1 - Install Application, 2 - Set the region code. IMPORTANT NOTE FOR DIRECTSHOW USERS (see Filters_Control below) =================================== DirectShow version 8 and later impose high priorities for the software MPEG 1 decoder filter and the Windows splitter filter affecting also the playback of some MPEG 2 files connecting the software audio decoder filter to the MPEG1 audio stream of these MPEG 2 files. In this case the NS4K is not used for the decoding. For this reason, the Setup application renames the file quartz.dll to quartz.dll.xxx in the two following entries : [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{4A2286E0-7BEF-11CE-9BD9-0000E202599C} \InprocServer32]@="C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\QUARTZ.DLL.xxx" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FEB50740-7BEF-11CE-9BD9-0000E202599C} \InprocServer32]@="C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\QUARTZ.DLL.xxx" Or "C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\QUARTZ.DLL.xxx" for Win XP. This will not affect the use of Quartz.dll for the playback of other multimedia files such as WAV files. If you are using your own application where you build your own graph by forcing filters and not auto rendering, then you can rename these two entries back to their original name. (see filterscontrol below) ===================================== FILTERS CONTROL FOR DIRECTSHOW ===================================== There is the application FiltersControl.
