PMMPEG.EXE Release 3.0 - An OS/2 Presentation Manager MPEG movie player.

This program will play MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group) digital movies
in a window on your OS/2 desktop. It can handle I-Frame style movies that
are used by the DOS Xing MPEG player, plus IBP-Frame style movies that the
Xing can't currently handle. It cannot play movies that have embedded
sounds, such as those generated by the ReelMagic card.

A great deal of quality feedback was received from dozens of people that
tried previous releases of PMMPEG. Here are of some of the new features
that have been implemented based on your suggestions. Please continue to
send suggestions and bug reports, it will help to make PMMPEG better for
everyone.

New Features in PMMPEG 3.0:

* Added DIVE support. This is the high-speed graphics and color
  conversion interface built into every video driver that ships
  with OS/2 Warp running with at least 256 colors.
* Designed smaller icons in the toolbar to save screen space.
* Redesigned the menus and added new options, as outlined below.
* Added a Registration feature. Don't worry! It gently reminds you
  to register each time the application starts up. There is no reduced
  functionality and none of your files are changed in any way.
* Added Save current movie feature.
* Added Half/Normal/Double playback size options.
* Added Unlimited/Fast/Medium/Slow playback speed options.
* Added an option to turn the menu/toolbar on and off. When off,
  you can still access the menu and toolbar with a click of Mouse
  Button 2.
* Added an option to maintain the aspect ratio during a resize of the
  playback frame.
* Updated the status bar to show the movie size, frame rate and an
  indication of the movie type: I frame or IBP frame.
* Redesigned the sizing scheme. Removed the Small/Large button in the
  toolbar as you can resize the movie by resizing the frame to any
  size you like. You can even Maximize it! The Half/Normal/Double menu
  options help to get exact sizes with a click. You can use the
  maintain the aspect ratio menu item to keep the movie properly
  proporationed as you resize it.
* Moved all saved information out of the OS/2 INI file and into
  PMMPEG.INI, which lives in the same directory as the PMMPEG.EXE
  file.
* Removed the Beep at the end of the movie.
* Updated possible command line options.
* Updated configuration data values saved between runs.
* Updated popup panel when non-understood file is loaded.
* Updated the popup message when no help file found more
  understandable.
* Mentioned how to make Ultimotion movies with the VideoIn application
  from the OS/2 Warp Bonus Pak.
* Bug fix: Client was sized just a little too small, this has been
  fixed by virtue of the new sizing method.
* Bug fix: No one discovered a latent bug where the Open File dialog
  would fail if a movie name was passed on the command line with a
  relative path.

to recoup some of the development, postage and network costs associated
with distributing it.
