Does the Player object support AVI and WMV on Windows?
Trying to play different video formats using the Player object on Windows. - MPG, MPEG play fine - AVI will play sound track only; the video track is white - WMV results in "Could not create movie reference" Is the Player object restricted, or do I need to locate codecs? I have tried setting dontUseQT to TRUE; no effect. /H ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

WMV with Rev 2.8.1 seems to be broken, but it seems to be fixed in 2.9 sims ClipaSearch Pro http://www.ClipaTools.com Across Platforms - Code and Culture http://www.ezpzapps.com/blog/ ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

The Player object is a QuickTime player, so setting dontUseQT to false isn't going to do a lot... That means that a player object can't play WMVs at all unless you are on a Mac with Flip4Mac installed, and support for AVIs is pretty limited depending on the codec used for the AVI. I suspect that you should be looking at videoclip objects, not player objects.

In that case the docs are wrong, because they specifically state that displaying a player object loads QT and overrides dontUseQT. Maybe it's changed since 2.6.

Recently, Ian Wood wrote: > The Player object is a QuickTime player, so setting dontUseQT to false > isn't going to do a lot... This isn't the case, unless the Rev guys changed things recently. In fact, the docs say: "Use the dontUseQT property to test operation of a stack using the built-in MCI video on Windows systems..." The lack of QT functions on a system allows the player use the available multimedia facilities of the machine -- ie WMP, in the case of Windows -- to play media. The available controls are much more limited, but playback is certainly there -- I've delivered CD titles based on this functionality. I'm just not sure if this was ever fully documented in terms of the range of available functions/features.

Then I have something odd with my machine as the Player results in "could not create movie reference" for any WMV file. Or is WMV different to WMP? /H ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
