Support for Movies

Question: How to feel movies (divX, trailers, *.avi, *.mpg, etc...) from Windows Media Player and other players that use overlay technology?

Answer: A simple solution is to disable hardware acceleration for your whole system.
Go to the Control Panel,
choose DirectX,
select the Direct Draw tab, and then verify that "Use Hardware Acceleration" is unchecked.
Summary: Disabling Hardware Acceleration System Wide (= disabling overlay technology)

If the option to enable/disable acceleration is not available, your video adapter might not support DirectX acceleration in hardware or you might need to install updated drivers.

Disadvantage: Some graphics-intensive programs run slowly or not at all if DirectDraw hardware acceleration is unavailable or disabled.
Also, DVD players usually require hardware acceleration to run.
You may not be able to watch movies from a DVD player.

Alternative solution: install FFdshow codecs, PotPlayer or KMPlayer to feel pixel from video.

Tip: disable iFeelPixel zoom, for better graphic performance

Question: So, how to feel DVD movies with iFeelPixel software?

Answer: Either get a DVD decoder that does not use overlay technology OR allows you to
not use overlay like Nvidia DVD decoder (Free 30 days trial).

Feel TV!
When using iFeelPixel in combination with a television card for your PC, it allows you to feel live television images as they are broadcast, or VCR recordings of the video in earlier television broadcasts or movies.

Note about overlay technology:
TV cards use the overlay technology to display image. iFeelPixel can't work with the overlay technology enabled. This method actually sends a video signal on top of your video card in a way that the pixels are not actually in your video card's memory. iFeelPixel grabs pixel info straight from the video memory. Please try to disable the Hardware Acceleration of your TV card. (Thanks to Schido and Bill for this note)
