Storm video use skills ten

a, video capture, a move enemy

we appreciate DVD movies, you may encounter a very nice picture, I want to intercept it down to save or set as wallpaper. In general, we either use HyperSnap-DX, SnagIt's DirectX/Direct3D and Glide video capture function, or select "Advanced → Troubleshooter" in the "Display Properties" to turn "Hardware Acceleration" off, then use the Print Screen button. Come to intercept.


fact, we can easily solve this problem in the STORM, first playing a video, to be intercepted at the screen to pause playback, select "File → Save Image" to save it as bmp or jpg format.

but need to remind you that this method is not effective for all video formats, if the program prompts "save image failed, hr = ..." indicates that the method of the current video is invalid.

Second, the video aspect ratio arbitrary

Sometimes we use the computer while watching a movie while doing something else, and do different things to different settings of the video screen display size. In fact, we can save these size settings, so you can switch at any time. Select the "View → Panorama → Edit" menu, click the "New" button, and set the size parameter in the "Location" and "Zoom" columns, where the number in the "Location" column is set between 0.0 and 1.0, the "Zoom out" column The number is set between 0.2-3.0, and the name of the program (such as New), click the "Save" button when finished.

when we need to adjust the size, simply select the "View → Panoramic → New" can be, if you want to restore the window size simply select the "Panoramic View → → Reset" or directly by pressing the number keys 5 .

three breakpoint not see watching movies

Sometimes we in the middle of a movie need to turn off the computer, how to continue to watch it next time? In fact, Storm Video has already thought of this for us. It provides a "breakpoint resume" function similar to downloading software. Select "Favorites → Add to Favorites", set a name in the "Please select a shortcut name" field, then check "Remember location" and click the "OK" button. The next time you play, just select the shortcut name in the "Favorites" menu and you can continue watching. However, this feature also does not support all formats, at least I did not support when testing the rmvb format.

You can also choose "Favorites → Manage Favorites" to manage the collections you add, including renaming them, moving them, and so on.

Four, watching TV is the perfect solution for

MM like to watch TV, so download a lot of TV shows. However, each episode of TV series has a prelude, she does not want to see, ask me how to do it without going to the prologue directly into the topic? After careful study, I solved the problem of serial drama perfectly with the following scheme:

Method 1: First, drag the TV dramas to be watched into the playlist of Storm Video, and adjust the playback order to normal order. Next, select "View → Options", switch to the "Player" tab, check "Open file with full screen", press Ctrl+G at the beginning of each episode to open the "Go" window, in "Time After filling in the TV show title to show the time required, press Enter or click the "Go" button.


two: First, select "View → Options" menu to open the "Options" settings window, switch to the "other" tag, the "step spacing (small, medium, large; ms)" column Fill in the title of the series (note that the unit is milliseconds), then just press the hotkey "→" when playing, or select "Play → Frame by Step" and start playing.

Five, four ways to switch channels a lot of movies
bilingual repression, where it may be necessary to switch the channel. In Windows Media Player or Super Solution, we can switch channels very easily, as well as in Storm Video. When you need to switch channels, you can try the following: first select “Play → Filter → Audio Switcher” to switch; if the menu is grayed out, or there is only one channel submenu, you can select “ View →Options, switch to the Playback tab, and drag the slider in the Balance bar to set the left and right channels.

or switch to the "Audio Switcher" tab under the "Filter" column, check "Enable Custom Channel Mapping", set "Speaker to 2 Input Channels", and hold Shift Press the button to check “1” or “2” for “Left Left”, “Front Right”, “Previous Middle” and other fields (depending on which channel you want to switch to).

Of course, if you have tried all the methods will not work, then just use a last resort: Open the "Volume Control" slider pull at the "Wave" to adjust the left and right channels.

Six, use the storm video to watch online video

If you uninstall Windows Media Player and do not install Real Player, you can not play video and audio programs online, but as long as you install the storm Video and audio will do. First run the mpcassoc.exe file in the Storm Video directory. This file is used to re-create the file association program. Select "File association", click "Next", and select "Streaming Protocol mms" in the "Association List". ://”, “Real-Time Streaming Protocol (rtsp://)”, “RealNetworks Streaming Protocol (pnm://)”, you can watch online video after confirming your storm video.


Next we set about the Real format online video parameters, run the installation realcfg.exe Storm video files in a directory, here are set up bandwidth, connection timeout, buffer time, the proxy server and playback performance Wait.

Seven, skip the installation CNNIC plug

when we install the latest version of STORM, it will be mandatory to install the plug-CNNIC Chinese domain name, how to avoid installing it? Run the "Regedit" command to open the Registry Editor, navigate to the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Storm Codec] branch, and create a new button named "CNNIC" in the right window and set its value to "1".

Eight, also played STORM command line

Did you know that the following command line can be completed STORM functions, such as opening D: \\ 1.rmvb file by running the "CMD "Command to open the command line mode, then go to the directory where mplayerc.exe is located, run "mplayerc.exe D:\\1.rmvb /play". The format is "mplayerc.exe file path parameter". Here are some of the most commonly used command line parameters:

/sub "Subtitle file" Load an additional subtitle

Nine, in storm video Playing double subtitles

Many subtitle files now sneak into multi-language support, such as Chinese and English. Sometimes you may want to learn English while watching a movie, then use the dual subtitle function. The following outlines the implementation steps:

Step 1: Right-click on the desktop, select "Properties" menu, switch to the "Settings" tab, the "Color Quality" is set to "Highest (32 )".

Second Step: Open the DVDRip file with double subtitles, Storm Video will automatically load VSFilter (also known as DirectVobSub), select the "View → Options" menu in Storm Video, switch to "Playback" The "Output" tab is set to "VMR7 (no conversion)" or "VMR 9 (no conversion)" in the "DirectShow Video" column. (Figure 11)

Step Three: Next, switch to the "Subtitle" and "Default Style" tab, select "covering position", set about the display position of subtitles, do not call the doctrine that position DirectVobSub The subtitles overlap in position so as not to affect normal viewing.

ten, back up all settings STORM

in after each reinstall the system not only to reinstall again Storm video, but also will lose one of the settings together. How to solve this trouble? Select the "View → Options" menu and check "Save Settings in .ini File" in the "Player" tab.

This way you can see that there are files named mplayerc.ini and realcfg.ini in the storm video installation directory, which records all the settings of our storm video and Real online video playback, we only need Keep them back up and cover them back to the original directory next time
