this bug!

This is the demo version of DvPlayer. The demo has fullscreen mode removed, and
a 7 minute timeout.

DvPlayer is an ongoing project to bring the ultimate multimedia experience to
the Amiga computer. It is a unique and Amiga-only multimedia player, developed
by Amiga enthusiasts, for Amiga enthusiasts!

This version of DvPlayer requires AmigaOS 4.0 and supports the following video
formats:

- MPEG-1/2 video streams
- MPEG-1/2 system streams
- VideoCD
- SVCD
- VOB files (DVDs)
- AVI files

DvPlayer supports many audio and video codecs via avcodec.library, including
MPEG Video 1/2, DiVX, XVID, MJPG, Cinepak, Indeo Video, PCM, MPEG Audio
(Layer1-3) and more.

To achieve the fastest possible video playback, DvPlayer uses fast
direct-rendering algorithms for every possible HiColor and TrueColor screen
mode. There are also separate rendering routines for half scale and also for
movies with 16:9 aspect ratio so that they are correctly displayed on a 1:1
aspect monitor without being stretched.

Support for using the video overlay is also included. Overlay is currently only
supported by the Voodoo drivers; for Radeon owners it will be available in
future releases of the Radeon graphics driver.

DvPlayer features an easy-to-use Graphical User Interface which provides great
control for the user.

Keyboard shortcuts are available for quick and easy access to functions.

Handling of multiple files is implemented, so the user can easily select many
video files and step between them either automatically or by the press of a
button.

The GUI is skinnable, allowing everyone to get the look-and-feel they want

You can easily switch from window to fullscreen display and back (only for
registered users).

DvPlayer can be placed into AmiDock and the user can drag'n'drop files onto the
DvPlayer icon to make them play instantly.

It is possible to switch between the different audio streams from the menu or
with keyboard shortcuts, even during playback, for example to select a
different
language.
