Before You Start
When you open DouWan, if the message shown below appears, please set up your computer according to one of the options introduced below to optimise the mirroring effect. Otherwise, no setting change is needed.
Today many laptops come with dual graphics cards: a discrete unit (NVIDIA) and an integrated unit (Intel). The discrete unit handles large software and games while the integrated unit runs daily applications. Considering power consumption and cost, the integrated chipset is less powerful in graphics processing while the discrete unit is less capable in multimedia processing. As DouWan uses multimedia processing to accelerate video decoding, we need to designate the integrated chip as the graphics processor to achieve the best casting effect.
