Movie quality
==========
High quality==========
"High quality" makes your image, subtitles and control panel sharper. You choose "high quality" to make your movie experience better.
Normal quality
"Normal quality", means that the player will use some of your computer's hardware, memory from your graphics card, to lower your CPU, so if you are having problems with your videoperformance e.g. choppy playback, you should choose this setting.
Video Smoothing
For a computer with lower performance, ”Video smoothing” together with ”High quality”, will imply that the computer may gain some better performance.
Note: The difference between the High quality and Normal quality is the image resolution.
