What is adaptive de-interlacing?
Adaptive de-interlacing is a more advanced algorithm that looks at a sequence of frames to determine if an area is still or in motion. For pixels that are still, the fields are simply combined without a blend. If in motion, the fields are blended together. This produces the best visual results but is more computationally intensive. ForceWare Multimedia is able to perform adaptive de-interlacing in hardware, which keeps the CPU from performing this intensive task. This maintains smooth DVD playback even when de-interlacing. Hardware Acceleration • What is hardware acceleration? It is common for recent graphics chips to support some level of the MPEG-2 decode in hardware. This offloads the CPU from performing the same decode tasks. For less CPU usage, make sure that the “Hardware acceleration” setting on the ForceWare Multimedia Video property page is enabled. When hardware acceleration is enabled, the “Decoder Format” section of the ForceWare Multimedia Video property page will indicate
