DirectDraw support (Windows only)
The DirectDraw option affects operation of the Video Viewer when running on
Windows operating systems. The software supports DirectDraw, a standard that
you can use to directly manipulate video display memory, hardware blitting,
hardware overlays, and page flipping without the intervention of the Graphical
Device Interface (GDI). This can result in smoother animation and improvement in
the performance of display-intensive software.
However, if the machine has a software cursor or pointer shadow enabled, or if
the video driver does not support DirectDraw, you can experience a flicker in the
mouse cursor when over the title bar of the Video Viewer. You can either disable
the software cursor or pointer shadow, load a new target device driver for the
video card, or disable DirectDraw.
