Introduction
------------

This Application Note includes a floppy disk containing a run-time
edition of Microsoft Video version 1.1a for Windows. This maintenance
release provides the following improvements and corrections:
   
    - Simultaneous playback of two .AVI files has been improved.
   
    - Playback of loosely interleaved or noninterleaved files with
      NetWare(R) Video has been improved.
   
    - The compression algorithm has been changed to fully meet the
      official Interactive Multimedia Association's adaptive-
      differential-pulse-code-modulation (ADPCM) format
      specifications.
   
    - Performance of video playback has been improved, which corrects
      a problem that causes shaky playback.
   
    - The general protection (GP) fault problem has been corrected.
      This problem occurs when you click embedded Video 1.1 for
      Windows media objects in object linking and embedding (OLE) 2.0
      clients.
   
    - A slight memory leak that occurs with embedded objects has been
      corrected.
