avi/mpeg plays but minimizes

If you play the video in Windows MEdia Player, does it minimize that when it finishes?

No it doesn't minimize in media player

If you create the video with a different codec such as XVid or WMV, does the problem still happen?

With Flash we can only create XVid, but the quality is very bad.

We took DivX 6.8.4 (4 Logical CPUs) with this the quality is perfekt, is there another codec wich gives the same quality?

You can google for a video converter/encoder. Then just find and try some out until you get the preferred quality.

But since you're trying to debug why this problem is occuring, I'd say just make an XVid from Flash (even if it's crappy) and try it. If it doesn't minimize, it's probably a codec problem. If it does, it might be something else.

Does the video play with a good quality in an external video player?

All codecs looked good in other players. Now we decided for Xvid created from Flash with maximum quality. I think it's the best we can do, it works. We will never take DivX again. It only brings problems and doesn't work.

Thank for your help everybody

So just to confirm, when you encode it with XVid instead of DivX, the minimizing problem goes away?

Miori · Sat 14/02/2009 19:36:14

Yes, it doesn't minimize. With Xvid we have no problems anymore. But you should take maximum quality, otherwise the quality is bad and cloudy.

That's good news, thanks for the feedback.

I don't think this is an ags issue but a DivX player issue. After the last two DivX packages, some games will minimize during video playback to play the DivX video in a separate window (I've encountered this with one game in particular). What you should try is to check the DivX settings and make sure it isn't set to launching the video in an external player or anything else that would cause it to take the focus away from another program.
