Subsystem Ordering
A single .AVI or .MOV to be opened might be opened on all four movie-reading subsystems. Oh, it might be opened in 64-bit mode, or in 32-bit mode, for a total of eight combinations!
Depending on the movie, all 8 subsystems might be able to open it, or none!
Each subsystem that can open a movie may result in different performance.
To bring order to this madness, the SynthEyes Image Input preferences allow you to control the order in which SynthEyes tries to open a movie file: the 1st Reader (subsystem), the 2nd Reader (subsystem), etc. The first subsystem able to open the file wins.
When "Via 32-bit" is encountered, the file is passed to the 32-bit server, which attempts to use it using exactly the same order (excepting itself). So you can try opening a file in the 32-bit environment first if you want, or last (the default).
The default ordering should be useful in most circumstances. Changes to the preferences take effect when previously unseen files are opened. To see new settings on an already-open file, close and reopen SynthEyes.
