• IP cameras that stream ASF format video (Windows Media format) are now
supported. The Linksys WVC11B is one such popular camera. The Windows Media
Technologies component must be installed--it is available from

.
• Clip playback will now use the VMR (Video Mixing Renderer) when using Windows
XP. This allows for more reliable playback on multi-monitor systems.
• The camera option to "open as desktop window" has been modified to allow these
windows to work more seamlessly with Windows sidebars (a new feature coming to
Windows Vista). The window will only be set as "topmost" if the main Blue Iris window
is also topmost. The window will open without a title bar. To move the window, click
the black border area to drag it.

• The cost-effective Gadspot NC1000 IP camera is now supported
• The Startup options page (See 11.) has been rearranged, and contains a couple of new
options:
• A new option to "automatically restore window when motion sensor is triggered" alerts
you to a motion trigger by opening the Blue Iris window if it had been previously
minimized.
• A new option to "Run Blue Iris as a Win32 service" (advanced users and licensed version
only). When the PC is restarted, Blue Iris will run on the "LocalSystem" account (a
privileged account not requiring login, but having no user interface). Blue Iris will run as
a service using its most recent configuration. Before you can run Blue Iris again as a
Windows application, you must manually stop the service by going to your Control
Panel/Administrative Tools/Services. Right-Click on "Blue Iris Service" and select
Stop. Please do not attempt to enable the service option to "Allow service to interact
with desktop" as this will result in a software failure.
• In order to facilitate running Blue Iris as a service, all registry settings were moved from
"current user" to "local machine." As a result, Administrator privileges are now required
to run Blue Iris. Your current settings will automatically be migrated.
• The automatic "check for updates" option has been moved from the Startup options
page (See 11.) to the About options page (See 11.).
• The built-in clip viewer has been fixed so that playback is now smoother.
• The main window may now be sized somewhat smaller
• The clip list (See 10.) now features a Select-All command on its right-click menu and on
the keyboard shortcut list (See 11.)
• The camera Image Posting (See 7.7) feature now always uploads the latest image using
your specified filename, regardless of the "maintain a ring" settings. If the ring feature
