Hyplay F.A.Q.

First of all, Hyplay is a FREE BETA. You have to know that Beta means I do my best to make it robust, but there are bugs left. So, if you have a problem, try first to find an answer on this page. I you do not find an answer, send me an email. I regularly fix bugs to improve Hyplay, so come back regularly.

1. What is required to install Hyplay ?

You need a Windows OS (98/ME/2000/XP) and Windows Media Player 6.4. or higher. Windows Media Player 6.4 is already installed on Windows ME/2000/XP. If you have another version of Windows (not recommended...), install Windows Media Player version 9 first. If you want to play a Quicktime movie, you must have Quicktime installed. If you want to play a RealPlayer movie, you must have RealPlayer installed. When you want to play an .avi file, be sure you have the audio and video codecs installed.

2. Playback is slow, what can I do ?

At first, try to install DirectX 9 (Microsoft DirectX 9 download page). If nothing changes, it's probably because your PC is too slow for the realtime overlay rendering of Hyplay, sorry. I regularly try to improve Hyplay's performances, so come back regularly.

3. Hyplay can't play my .avi file. What can I do ?

In many cases, .avi problems are codecs problems. Check that you have the right audio and video codecs installed to play your clip. The best .avi diagnostic tool I know is GSpot (GSpot Website). If you want to play a DivX file, you need a Divx Codec. See download page for codecs links.
