Starting AVS In Fullscreen?
Im using AVS presets as part of a visualisation system in another program, its running on a via C3 800mhz, hence its very slow -is there a way to get avs to automatically load in fullscreen or overlay mode ( preferable the overlay mode ( a fake fullscreen )) as it runs much faster in this mode. - thanks

Why not just pixel double the avs window?

starting avs in overlay mode is possible (just enable overlay), for fullscreen you always have to do that manually

nuts :( future versions may fix?

avs has so much potential - it seems crippled though....

a lot of improvements have been done in the last few weeks, we cannot expect more of Justin. And for pixel doubling: You better have a small window which looks sharp, instead of a large screen which looks very pixelated. (imo). (of course a large window with high quality is best, though most computers won't pull that off). I'm running 400x300 without pixel doubling.

my 3.2ghz p4 will do 1280x1024 without doubling

I understand why avs needs lots of cpu - just would like more options of setting how its displayed and its startup mode to get the most out of it...

1280x1024? wow... what FPS do you get with that setting with UnConeD's or Tuggummi's presets?

i will take a look tonight they're included in 5 i think? - not amazing at that res - certainly watchable at 15fps +
to get silky smooth i'm at 800x600 realistically

Wish I had one of those processors, my 333mhz pentium2 can barely even run the old newpicks at 800x600 with 15fps+.

Except the good chance that it will start on fire. I was using on overclocked processor only running at 400mhz over, burnt the whole PC up, burnt the monitor, burnt the desk, burned a quarter of my basement...

rofl - you didn't have enough cooling - my CPU overclocking runs at 25 degrees, my case runs at 30

Even if a fan was to die the motherboard would turn system off upon CPU reaching 60 degrees

I had plenty of cooling, I just had a few cases all hooked together with parts lying all over my basment desk with one of those big box fans blowing over the whole desk :D. The processor may have sucked but I had a nice hardrive setup, I had something like 30gb worth of hardrives lying around that I just switched around and plugged in when I needed them. Oh yeah, did I mention I had the whole thing set up with neon lights and other little flashy lights, it looked pretty cool when it was just sitting there glowing in the dark.
