+===== Video Output =====
+You can select one of three backends for video playback. Note that this will have an impact on the performance, so if you notice choppy playback, you can try another backend. Also note that you have to restart Parole after switching to a different backend.
+While the Clutter and XV backend make use of hardware video acceleration, the "No XV" option uses (the usually slower) software acceleration.
 ===== Color Balance =====
-Moving the sliders changes the color balance of the video being played or the audio effects being displayed (if visual effects are enabled). Changes can be applied while the media are playing and they take effect immediately. If you are unhappy with your changes, press the {key>Reset to defaults} button.
