Hi Ben,

let me first say that there is absolutely no need to SCREAM :-)

hi,

i am TOTALLY new to REVOLUTION...i was trying a similar project...

welcome to the list.

to make a PROGRAM that plays MPEG video files...
as far as i could see...the VIDEOPLAYER control...can ONLY play quiktime....

Not necessarily!

If you:

set the dontuseqt to true

in your "preopenstack" or "openstack" handler, Rev will use Video for Windows
instead of Quicktime.

what is revVIDEOPLAYER???
is it a library of FUNCTION COMPONENTS?

there is no thing like revVIDEOPLAYER, you mean revVIDEOGRABBER as mentined in earlier posts, which is a DLL (on windows) that lets you capture video from within Rev.

i am finding REVOLUTION is a great piece of SOFTWARE...but you need to spedn TIME...learning the TRANSCRIPT LANGUAGE...

Yep...

But Transcript is almost like the english language, no complicated syntax.

i do NOT like learning LANGUAGES...or the SYNTAX and RULES regarding languages...it is TEDIOUS...

well... ;-)

although REVOLUTION has TONNES of POWER under it's hood...you still have to LEARN transcript....you know...

That's true!

if you look at even a simple PROGRAM....like a CLOCK FACE...you find it has nearly 100 lines of CODE...just to make a GRAPHICAL clock TICK around the SECONDS.... this is TOO MUCH CODE..for such a simple REQUIREMENT...in my opinion...

www.codemorphis.com

this SYNPOSIS software has ZERO code...you never see a single LETTER of code...it is just WIRING diagrams.....it does VIDEO and things like this...GRAPHICS TOO... you could make a CLOCK FACE in an hour...with SYNPOSIS...with ZERO CODE ever seen... also you can use the windows API library...which holds TEN THOUSAND fucntions for windows programming..in DLL files...

Yes, but that is Windows ONLY!

And Rev will run on the mac, Windows and Linux/Unix, that's why most user choose Rev :-)

If you only need to "serve" one platform, OK, there are surely more apps that can do so...

i am going to try HARDER with REVOLUTION...but again...it looks like CODE CODE CODE....to get results...

Yes, sure, but don't be shy, try it, learn it and you will be very happy with the results!

this is NOT a VISUAL RAD TOOL....

Noone says so ;-)

whereas SYNOPSIS is totally VISUAL...with ZERO CODE...(there is NO language to learn)

Sure, but does it have a wonderful and helpful list like this? ;-)

cheers

Ben
