 Step 1: Check your Hardware! You need recent hardware to run MXWendler: your graphics board has to support pixel shaders. Step 2: Download and Install Get the installer, install and run. Do you see the main application window? Good. Then proceed. Step 3: the Driver You need a recent graphics driver. If you have a NVidia system, you need a driver > 77.77. If you have an ATI system, you need a driver > Catalyst 5.7. Step 4: the first Check: Images So you can see the application window now. Open any JPEG image (File->Open). Can you see it? Wonderful. MXWendler is up and running! If not ... check drivers and hardware ... Step 5: the second Check: Flash Now open any swf file. Can you see it? Perfect. If not, install the official Macromedia flash player. Step 6: the third Check: Quicktime Open a .mov file. Can you see it? Great! If not, install the latest Quicktime. MXWendler likes quicktime. Its better than avi. Use MJPEG. Step 7: the fourth Check: AVIs Open an avi file on your system. Do you see it? Perfect! If not, check another avi. AVI is a container format. Try DivX, try Microsoft Video1. Reinstall the Codecs. Do not test with Video Lan. Video Lan carries its own decoders. Start with small resolutions. MXWendler does not work (yet) with .wmv Step 8: the fifth Check: Capture Devices! plug in any live device you can see in the windows explorer. Then fire up MXWendler. Do you see an entry in Settings -> Media -> Live Devices? Perfect! click on it. Try to open it. Does it work? Then mark it as known. Step 9: it works, but it is slow Your hardware is not sufficient. Reduce the render resolution in Settings->Performance->Output. Your disks are fragmented. Or your our disks are full. Read on (last section) Step 10: it works, but video hangs occasionally You are disk limited. Here they are, the three MOST IMPORTANT SECRETS ABOUT VIDEO DISKS:
