Compatibility mode (Video for Windows): This is the (tried-and-true) standard
mode, which works on all systems.
Hardware acceleration (Direct 3D): This mode offers extreme speed advantages,
processing effects, mixing and various transitions directly on the graphics card.
Depending on the graphics card, performance can increase by 300%. The graphics
card will not be used during export.
Warning: To be able to use this mode, the graphics card must have at least 128 MB
disk space of its own. Direct 3D 9 or higher must be installed and the graphic card
driver must support "High Level Pixel Shader Language 2.0". MAGIX Video Pro X5
checks the corresponding properties when this mode is selected, and switches it off
if necessary.

Alternative mode 1 (Overlay Mixer): In this mode you can use hardware deinterlacing
for export to PC monitor or progressive scan-enabled projector, which noticeably
improves reproduction quality of analog video recorded with interlacing.
Alternative mode 2 (Video Mixing Renderer 9): This mode uses hardware
deinterlacing of modern graphics cards together with DirectX9. Make sure that you've
installed the latest graphics card drivers and the card is compatible with DirectX9.
This mode works better than the standard mode (Overlay Mixer) only for a few
graphics card models.
Standard renderer: The DirectShow standard renderer is used for viewing.
Image formation in Vertical Blank Intervals (VBI)
The image formation takes place in the vertical blank intervals of the monitor signal
(or the connected TV signal). This helps avoid image interruptions. Warning: Because
of the necessary waiting time on the next VBI, this process adds significant
computation time!
You can deactivate this option for digital displays such as TFT monitors. In "Overlay"
mode, image formation occurs exclusively via VBI.
Acceleration for high-resolution MPEG2 files
This option can be selected only in the "Hardware acceleration (Direct 3D)" video
mode and indicates that videos in MPEG-2 format will be processed directly from the
graphics card GPU. Depending on the graphics card performance, an improvement of
up to 300% can be achieved!
