Subject: Sofware Submission: BTV 3.0.0

BTV is an application that allows you to easily view video from any video
digitising source, either full screen or in a window. It was originally
written for the IXTV (TurboTV) card however it has been successfully
tested with a number of video sources including various video input
cards, TV cards, built-in video hardware, and even USB video sources!

Features:

- Full-screen video with no menu bar
- Video in a window which can be dragged around the screen or resized
- Automatic monitor resolution switching to the resolution of your choice
(usually 640x480 or 800x600) and back to the original resolution on quit
- Multiple monitor support - play full screen video on one monitor while
you work on another
- Can capture a PICT file, either straight to the desktop with an
automatic file name or through the normal save dialog box
- Can record a movie to disk using custom video and sound settings
- Can black out other monitors on a multi-monitor system
- Can be set to disable background processes so no interference by
screensaver or powersaver
- Can adjust size of picture with arrow keys
- Can hide the mouse (this can be done automatically on startup)
- Can spin down hard disks for less noise (this can be done automatically
on startup)
- Saves all video and sound settings

System requirements:

Any PowerMac with video digitising hardware.
BTV uses 1400k of RAM, however if you never need to create PICT files you
can reduce this to about 400k.
