Hi Michael,
I notice that you are using 384 x 288 for the mpg1, I've done some
testing on this and on older PC's 352 x 288 seems to give the best
reproduction. I suspect this has something to do with this being an
older standard res for mpg's on the PC thus old video drivers cope
better with this
Use the searchPaths ( a built-in global) to create a linear list of folders
that are checked when your movie needs to find linked media.
I usually put the call in a startMovie handler:
--assuming media in folders at the same level as your projector:
on startMovie
tPath1 = the moviePathvideos

Test for it and check if it's right.
It could be using an absolute file path, like c:\documents and

Try retyping it in the PI, if it doesn't work you can always set it
through code.

having just checked your method I think that the first stopMovie is called

On Windows, I'd use UltraEdit. It's a great all-around editor, and it's

Hi Dave!
I have never thought of using 352 x 288 and stretching it to the original
aspect ratio. I thought that stretching would deteriorate
Another approach would be to track everything as you are, and when you
want
to switch videos, move the current video off-stage, stop it, change the
file name of the sprite, reset the movie time, and move it back on stage.
I'm a one-frame kind of guy, so I would tend to use that approach.

I've found that avoiding running D 8.5 under OSX (classic) entirely is

The problems related to drag and drop in 8.5 under OSX are mostly related to
Microsoft's OLE extensions (which control drag and drop). Numerous people
have removed the Microsoft OLE extensions and gotten Director to run fairly
reliably afterward.

I agree. It's Microsoft's crap not Apple's that's causing these
problems ...and they are unique to Director. No other app, native or
classic, behaves as badly.

No, it's one and the same video in different qualities/formats. Depending on
