What is the difference between overlay mode 1 and mode 2?

124 views no answer today, it seems to be an interesting question that nobody can answer *but* BST.

What I can say is that mode 1 is the default and preferred one. Some features seem to work only in that mode: Video stats [Alt+3] and ScreenShot [P] for instance.

On my ATI cards mpeg movies can only be seen in mode2.
On my desktop I can watch my latest DivX 5.02 pro movies in both modes, but with TV-out enabled, it depends on the video cards settings, Theater, clone or dual display.

To BST: Did you schedule a web meeting for giving us a course on mode 1 versus mode 2? :lol:

I've loaded a DivX movie with GraphEdt v8.1.011008 under WinMe, seen the graph, rendered the movie, taken a look at "insert filter" list and "Help contents" but seen nothing about video mode are overlay.

Where should I look??? :shock:
