Simple, powerful and stable FullScreen TV Viewer: "FullscreenTV.exe"

copyright(c) 2003 Wenig Sabrina 

"FullscreenTV.exe" is a small aplication which will show in fullscreen a video taken from one of your capture device (for example: a "Pinnacle Systems Studio DC10 Plus Video Capture Card", any TV-capture card or a simple webcam: creative webcam and philips webcam have been tested). The interface has been reduced to allow a very simple use: There is only one right-click-menu in which you select your capture device and that's all! Everything is done automatically (For example, the program will attempt to use the "overlay mode" of your capture device to give an animation as smooth as possible). There is usually a problem with "Studio DC10" cards: they can't play fullscreen: this has been solved: you can now watch TV in fullscreen without any problem. The code has been compiled in static mode so that you don't need any special library to run it: It will run on all Windows versions without problem (Win 98, Win 2000, Win XP). It's also very small: only 118KB to download! A great Tool! Soon: the source code available. This program has been written by Sabrina Wenig, using DirectX/DirectShow technology.

New (08 apr 2004) version 2.2 has arrived!

1. The program doesn't appear in the taskbar anymore. But you can still access it with Alt-Tab.
2. The FullScreenTV icon appears now in the Alt-Tab dialog.
3. A small display bug that appeared while initializing the program with a sound option has been removed.

New (12 nov 2003) version 2.1 has arrived!

1. You may now resize the window. Either with the mouse wheel or via the pop-up menu in "Custom ...".

2. You may now move the video window in the screen: with the mouse (left click and drag) or the keyboard arrows. The "home"-key brings the window back to the upper left corner.

3. There is a new option: "always on top" in the menu.

4. There are new options on the command line: "FullSscreenTV [n][M{0|1}][L{0|1}][A{0|1}] [H{int}][W{int}][X{int}][Y{int}][T{0|1}]" where 
	'H' is the original window height
	'W' is the original window width
	'X' and 'Y' are the upper left corner coordinates
	'T' is for setting the "always on top" parameter
Example: If I want a 400x300 window located at 100 pixels from the left screen border and 50 from the top border, I would write "FullSscreenTV H300 W400 X100 Y50"


new in version V2:

There are four major improvements: 

1. You can now access the property pages of your capture device from within the program (to adjust frame rate, brightness, ...). 

2. You can now mute/unmute the line-in or the microphone. The original values are restored when you exit the program. 

3. The screen saver is de-activated when the program is running.

4. You can now use command-line parameters. 
The syntax is: "FullSscreenTV [n] [M{0|1}] [L{0|1}] [A{0|1}]" (it's case insensitive)
An example: if you want to use your second capture device, mute the microphone and un-mute the line-in, you will type: "FullScreenTV 2 M0 L1". 
Another example: If you have problems with the audio-related part of the program, you can deactivate all the audio treatment in the program by using the 'A' option: you will type : "FullScreenTV A0".

Some bugs linked to winXP have also been solved.
