Any help appreciated...
I need interactive control of MPEG2 file play back MPEG2 with MetaCard. Due
to shipping problems with the WiredStream DVD playback cards that we
intended to use. I am considering changing the playback platform to PC, and
have found the following card, which seems to indicate that I could control
the MPEG2 playback from hard disk using the MetaCard "send MCI" commands.
However I have never used this before and would like to know what questions
to ask about the cards and drivers before going ahead with a purchase and
last minute change of platform.
Thanks, as ever, for the help.
