The RIVA 128 video playback architecture is de-
signed to allow playback of CCIR PAL or NTSC
video formats with the highest quality while requir-
ing the smallest video surface. The implementa-
tion is optimized around the Windows 95 Direct
Video and ActiveX APIs, and supports the follow-
ing features:

Accepts interlaced video fields:
- This allows the off-screen video surface to

consume less memory since only one field
(half of each frame) is stored. Double buffer-
ing between fields is done in hardware with
