Notes

	(*1)	This tool uses a DirectShow interface to load AVI files. As a rule, any AVI file that can be played in Windows Media Player can be loaded by this tool. However, depending on your operating environment, some files may not be able to be loaded even if they can be played, or even if they can be loaded they may not be encoded correctly. In this case, use a tool like VirtualDub to re-output the AVI file. Installing other player software that uses DirectShow or installing external codec packs can also affect whether or not files can be loaded, so try to avoid installing such software if possible. For example, installing DivX version 8 series software will cause the tool to no longer be able to load uncompressed RGB AVI files.
	(*2)	MP4/MOV format is not compatible with Alpha movie encoding. Also, because the function of OS is used for reading, files which can not be played by Windows Media Player can not be read.
	(*3)	It depends on the decoder specification of each platform. For details, refer to the manual of each platform.
