What does the “SpeedLimit” checkbox do?
Checking the SpeedLimit box turns on the 2xAV automatic speed limit mechanism. When this box is checked, the 2xAV Plug-In will attempt to play media as fast as you request, so long as that speed doesn’t cause gaps. Gaps can occur if your Internet connection isn’t fast enough to deliver media as fast as you are trying to play it, or if your computer isn’t powerful enough to process media fast enough to keep up with your requested speed. In SpeedLimit mode, if the 2xAV Plug-In detects gaps it will slow down the playback speed. The “thumb” of the speed slider will remain where you set it, but the blue “thermometer” in the center of the slider may get shorter, showing you that SpeedLimit has momentarily lowered the playback speed in an attempt to avoid gaps. Please see the questions and answers on processing gaps, rebuffering, and computer resources for more information.
