Alright, a breakthrough: I procured versions 1.4.8 and 1.2 of the vaunted Apple CD/DVD Driver. 1.4.8 made no difference, but 1.2 WORKED! So my conclusion: CDPro does not work properly with 1.4.7 or 1.4.8 in addition to the 1.3.x drivers that are already documented. Thanks to all who helped. Have

My driver is 1.4.7, which I think was the last released for OS9.x. I've been trying to track down other versions, but no luck as yet. f on 3/9/03 4:35 PM, Tab Julius at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > We've only had one report of this from someone else (or maybe it was you?); > what we have found

Hi list, There's a way to compare two images and retieve the diferences from it other? For example I have a test where someone check the answers with "X". Then I scan that sheet and compare it with a blank version of the test in order to check where the user filled the questions or not. Thank's

We've only had one report of this from someone else (or maybe it was you?); what we have found was that Apple released a series of CD drivers particularly with OS/9 G4's that were problematic. The worst offenders were versions 1.34 and 1.35 - requests to play tracks might be ignored, or might

I stripped all that out to get at the core of the problem I'm facing. I know the CD is playing on my system (I can hear it...). To take an even simpler look, in the Director message window, if I issue: global cd Play(cd) And then wait until I hear the CD playing and (attempt to) issue: Stop(cd)

Well, I tried SeekOnFailedLanding, but the problem still exists. Here's a rundown of my latest experiments: 1) It works fine on Windows XP. 2) There appears to be no extensions conflict on my machine causing the problem -- I pared down to the minimum with no luck. 3) My CD driver is up to date, so

got shockwave error online but looked at your code, you might think of double checking after initializing, if (cd) then... if (Ready(cd)) then ... else status(cd) Also you could see if it plays by directly targeting the track, using SetPosition(cd, 12, 0, 42, 0) this because of difference beetwee

Fletch, Are you using the command "seek on failed landing"? if not, try it. Something like On startMovie global cd set cd=new(xtra"cdPro") selectDrive(cd, the moviePath) SeekOnFailedLanding(cd,TRUE) end [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penwo

Hi all, I have two unrelated queries. Both of them I have come up with workable solutions, but both seem cumbersome. There must be a better way! 1. When using DirectMediaXtra, it does not support a negative movieRate. Has anyone written a behavior that rewinds an MPEG1 file somewhat smoothly?
