Re: lingo-l QuickTime Director
We have the same problem with a particular type of kiosk except it is with sound. The sound stutters and plays as though it is a gigantic file. Setting the sound Device to Quicktime and installing Quicktime improves the situation slightly, -- turning off hardware acceleration on sound fixes it. Apparently upgrading the drivers would also fix it, if there were any new drivers.

We solved it by having the end user lower their hardware acceleration from the maximum setting to mid-level... GSB Geoffrey S.

RE: lingo-l QuickTime Director
Is the video being distorted at all or is it playing actual size? Is it Direct to stage? I would try a QT 6 but there are buggy version of QT out as well. The QT6 Asset Xtra is set to take advantage of QT 6 features though so you may get better playback with the newer builds. -Chuck -- Chuck Neal CEO, MediaMacros, Inc.

I develop on a Mac and movies look great. On the PC (my end-user machine) the QuickTime is looking strange. It is displaying noise on playback. These machines are using QuickTime 5.02 vs 6 or 6.5. I encoded the videos with Sorenson 3. Do I need to include a different QuickTime Asset (version 5). Or is there some other issue someone knows about.

Re: lingo-l QuickTime Director
What are the key frame spacing in the files? What are you doing when they crash the machine?

RE: lingo-l QuickTime Director
Hi, QuickTime keeps intermittently crashing my CD program. The first thing that comes to mind is a bad CD. If you copy it to your hard drive, does it run ok there? Are you accessing anything else at the same time--art, audio, Flash, etc.? CD's aren't very good at seeking from file to file. Do I have to load or unload the movies? I usually don't. It may save a second here and there, but it shouldn't cause them to crash. The movies contain a cue point to advance the movies when done. That has always worked fine in the past. Any advice? How are you advancing the movie? Using on cuePointPassed? Are your movies in cast members, or are you setting a single cast member's file name at run time?

Related to this, it often a good idea to have the QuickTime movie be paused, and set it playing once the frame is settled down.

Re: lingo-l QuickTime Director
Are you limited to QT 5? Have you considered QT 6.5? Concerning cue points, I have never used them with video, but have found them to be a little unreliable when working with wav audio files. I use a sprite behavior similar to the following to handle advancing the movies when done: - on exitFrame me if sprite(me.spriteNum).movieTime = sprite(me.spriteNum).duration then go next exit end if go the frame end exitFrame - Anthony www.lifelinstudios.com - Original Message - From: Greg Lippert [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2004 6:22 PM Subject: lingo-l QuickTime Director Hi, QuickTime keeps intermittently crashing my CD program. I am using Sorenson 3 and Director MX. The PC is running QuickTime 5. They are fast machines (over 2 ghz with lots of ram). The videos are direct to stage, no controller and there is nothing behind them or touching them. They play great just all of a sudden go bad and crash. The movies range in length and have cue points. I have done this before (with different configurations) Any one know of any bugs? When I put QuickTime on safe mode in the control panels I have no trouble but I can't do that on users machines.
