3.6.1.4 Viewing or changing DirectDraw support (Windows only)
The DirectDraw option affects operation of the Video Viewer when running on Windows
operating systems. The software supports DirectDraw, a standard that you can use to
directly manipulate video display memory, hardware blitting, hardware overlays, and
page flipping without the intervention of the Graphical Device Interface (GDI). This can
result in smoother animation and improvement in the performance of display-intensive
software.
However, if the machine has a software cursor or pointer shadow enabled, or if the
video driver does not support DirectDraw, you can experience a flicker in the mouse
cursor when over the title bar of the Video Viewer. You can either disable the software
cursor or pointer shadow, load a new target device driver for the video card, or disable
DirectDraw.
Select Tools - Options from the Explorer menu. The General Options window
opens.
In the DirectDraw field, select or clear the DirectDraw check box.
Complete one of the following steps:
