If a copy of NET TOOB is downloaded from the Web, it will install itself and play video files on PCs. However, it will remind the user that the software has not been registered and should be done if NET TOOB is going to be continually used. NET TOOB will play any MPEG-1 file for two weeks after installation. After two weeks, the software will be partially disabled and will stop playing certain types of MPEG-1 files and streams unless the player is registered. The fee and code are only needed once.
Updates are free of charge.
Upgrades which add significant functionality may require a small additional fee. WAV, MIDI and MPEG-1 audio files can be played as well. Once NET TOOB has been downloaded and installed, multiple video format playback can be achieved as long as the appropriate AVI, MOV, QT VR drivers are installed. If they are not, they are available for free here . The playback quality of the current standards for PC video today is indeed fairly poor, especially as it regards the synchronization of video and audio.
