\par \pard\plain \li120\sl-240 \f4\fs20\lang1033 Media Player supports two types of devices: {\ul simple}{\v def_simpledevice} and {\ul compound}{\v def_compounddevice}
. When you choose a simple device from the Device menu, Media Player is ready to start playing whatever is currently loaded in the hardware device. Compound devices require, in addition to the device name, a specified media file (such as the synthesizer t
hat plays waveform audio).
\par \pard\plain \s4\li120\sb80\sl-240 \f4\fs20\lang1033 The contents of the Device menu varies ac
cording to your system configuration. For Media Player to list a device in the Device menu, the device and its software driver must be correctly installed and configured in your system.
\par \pard\plain \s6\li120\sb120\sa40\sl-240 \b\f4\fs20\lang1033 To specify a simple device:

\par \pard\plain \s15\li360\sb40\sl-200 \f4\fs18\lang1033 Names of simple devices are not followed by an ellipsis (. . .).
\par \pard\plain \s6\li120\sb120\sa40\sl-240 \b\f4\fs20\lang1033 To specify a compound device:

\par \tab 
The first time you specify a compound device (such as Sound), Media Player displays the File Open dialog box for you to identify a file you want to play. Once you specify the device, you can use the Open command to open other files available for use by th
at device. To use a different device, you can choose that device from the Device menu, or you can choose a different file type from the Open dialog box.

\par \pard\plain \li120\sl-240 \f4\fs20\lang1033 The Media Player Options dialog box consists of the following options:
\par \pard\plain \s6\li120\sb120\sa40\sl-240 \b\f4\fs20\lang1033 Dialog box options:
\par \pard \s6\li475\sb120\sa40\sl-240 Auto Rewind
\par \pard\plain \s5\li720\sl-240\tx360 \f4\fs20\lang1033 
Rewinds a media sequence, selection, or clip to play again when Media Player reaches the content's end. If this option is set in a media clip object, the media clip will remain open after the content is rewound.
\par You can use Auto Rewind with Media Player as a stand-alone application or as a media clip object.
\par \pard\plain \s6\li475\sb120\sa40\sl-240 \b\f4\fs20\lang1033 Auto Repeat
\par \pard\plain \s5\li720\sl-240\tx360 \f4\fs20\lang1033 Plays a media sequence selection, or clip as a continuous loop. If this option is set in a media clip object, the media clip will remain open until you select another item or area in the application.

\par You can use Auto Rewind with Media Player as a stand-alone application or as a media clip object.
\par \pard\plain \s6\li475\sb120\sa40\sl-240 \b\f4\fs20\lang1033 Caption
\par \pard\plain \s5\li720\sl-240\tx360 \f4\fs20\lang1033 
Adds space for a caption at the base of a media clip object. The media clip object uses the text from the box to the right of the Caption option in the Options dialog box. If this option is not selected, the media clip object does not display a caption.

\par \pard\plain \s6\li475\sb120\sa40\sl-240 \b\f4\fs20\lang1033 Border Around Object
\par \pard\plain \s5\li720\sl-240\tx360 \f4\fs20\lang1033 Inserts a thin border around the window of the media clip object.
\par \pard\plain \s6\li475\sb120\sa40\sl-240 \b\f4\fs20\lang1033 Play in Client Document
\par \pard\plain \s5\li720\sl-240\tx360 \f4\fs20\lang1033 
Plays a media clip within the window of the application containing the media clip object. If this option is not selected and the Control Bar on Playback option is selected, the media clip object opens another window containing the abbreviated controls (an
d playback window, if necessary) to play the embedded or linked media clip.
\par \pard\plain \s6\li475\sb120\sa40\sl-240 \b\f4\fs20\lang1033 Control Bar on Playback
\par \pard\plain \s5\li720\sl-240\tx360 \f4\fs20\lang1033 Displays a control bar for playback when the media clip object is sele
cted. The control bar includes a Play/Pauses button, a Stop button, and a scroll bar that you can use to move to another positions in the media clip.
\par \pard\plain \s6\li475\sb120\sa40\sl-240 \b\f4\fs20\lang1033 Dither Picture to VGA Colors
\par \pard\plain \s5\li720\sl-240\tx360 \f4\fs20\lang1033 
With an embedded or linked video clip or animation, the media clip object is marked in an application with a picture instead of an icon. The place marker for the media clip object consists of one frame from the embedded or linked media clip. This option d
ithers the image of the place marker using the colors from the standard VGA color palette.
\par 
\par If this option is not selected, the place marker uses the color palette of the video clip or animation, creating possible color distortion.

\par \pard\plain \li120\sl-240 \f4\fs20\lang1033 For the Microsoft AVI Video device, the configuration options let you adjust viewing characteristics of a video sequence. The MCIAVI Options dialog box includes the following options:
\par 
\par \pard\plain \s6\li475\sb120\sa40\sl-240 \b\f4\fs20\lang1033 Zoom by 2
\par \pard\plain \s5\li720\sl-240\tx360 \f4\fs20\lang1033 Doubles the frame size of the playback area in normal and full-screen modes.
\par \pard\plain \s6\li475\sb120\sa40\sl-240 \b\f4\fs20\lang1033 Play Only If Waveform Device Available
\par \pard\plain \s5\li720\sl-240\tx360 \f4\fs20\lang1033 If a video sequence includes a sound track and the audio resources are already in use, Media Player won't play the video sequence until the audio resources become available. If this option is not 
selected, Media Player plays the video sequence immediately with or without the soundtrack, depending on the availability of the audio resources.
\par \pard\plain \s6\li475\sb120\sa40\sl-240 \b\f4\fs20\lang1033 Seek to Nearest Full Frame
\par \pard\plain \s5\li720\sl-240\tx360 \f4\fs20\lang1033 Causes Media Player to choose the nearest full frame when a jump to a non-consecutive frame occurs (always displaying the correct frame image.)
\par 
\par If this option is not selected, media Player chooses the exact frame when a jump to a non-consecutive frame occurs. Media Player displays the current frame data correctly. However, if the fr
ame depends on other frame for some of its data, the frame display might contain inaccuracies.
\par \pard\plain \s6\li475\sb120\sa40\sl-240 \b\f4\fs20\lang1033 Skip video Frames If Behind
\par \pard\plain \s5\li720\sl-240\tx360 \f4\fs20\lang1033 
Prioritizes the sound track of a video sequence above the frame. If Media Player cannot maintain the playback pace, it skips video frames to keep pace with the audio track. If this option is not selected, media Player plays all frames of the video sequenc
e and pauses the audio track as needed.
\par \pard\plain \s6\li475\sb120\sa40\sl-240 \b\f4\fs20\lang1033 Don't Buffer Offscreen
\par \pard\plain \s5\li720\sl-240\tx360 \f4\fs20\lang1033 Provides a slightly faster playback rate by omitting updates to an 
off-screen buffer of the playback window. If your system cannot keep pace with the playback rate of a video sequence, but lags only slightly, this option might allow you to play the video sequence at its normal rate without dropping frames.
\par 
\par If you select this option and your system still lags behind the playback rate of the video sequence, the video images might become fuzzy. Also, since a copy of the playback window is not being updated off screen, jumping to another position within a video
 sequence will probably result in a distorted image until Media Player reaches the next full frame.
