The Player module is used to play a multitude of video formats with support for transparency. Note transparent video must have premultiplied alpha. Right click the module to open its popup menu. The following additional menu entries are available.

Open

Displays the Open dialog to load a file. Instead of using this command, you can also drag & drop a file on the module.

Play

Starts or continues playing the video. If the video is pausing at the last frame it will rewind first.

Stop

The effect of this command depends on the status of the player: when a video is playing clicking Stop will pause the video. When the video is paused, clicking Stop will rewind the video. To stop and rewind a playing video click Stop twice.

Open Recent

Displays a list of recently opened files.

As VidBlasterX only supports progressive video, all interlaced video signals must be deinterlaced first. Enable this option to activate the deinterlacer.
