How can I optimize my Windows computer and software to work
best for viewing videos?
Check your display settings. We recommend
a display resolution of at least 800x600 pixels (1024x768 is
recommended) and 16-bit color depth.
You can change your display settings by right-clicking on the
desktop and choosing Properties from the pop-up menu. Click
the Settings tab in the Display Properties dialog box. If the
setting indicated under Screen area is less than 800x600 pixels,
move the slider toward More until the resolution meets our minimum
requirements. Colors should be set to High Color (16 bit). To
implement these settings, click OK.
Exit unused applications. You can exit an application by choosing
Exit from the File menu.
How can I optimize my Mac OS computer and software to work best
for viewing videos?
Ensure you have at least 64 MB of RAM
installed in your computer. While most video titles will work
with less memory, more RAM will be required depending on your
other hardware.
Check
your monitor settings:
1. Choose Control Panels -> Monitors
from the Apple Menu.
2. Set the Resolution to at least 800x600.
3. Set the Color Depth to Thousands (Macintosh G4 users should
use Millions).
NOTE: Some computers do not support large screen sizes with
higher color settings. In this case, try reducing your Color
setting to 256. This will give you larger screen size options.
Allocate at least 25 MB of RAM to your Web browser (America
Online, Microsoft Internet Explorer, or Netscape Navigator).
1. Locate your Web browser on your hard disk. Click once on
the icon.
NOTE: You must locate the application itself, not an alias.
2. Choose Get Info -> Memory from the File menu.
3. In the Info dialog box, indicate 25,000 for Preferred Size.
4. Click OK.
Quit unused applications. Press Command-Q to quit an application.
