Background Music with Video

[joelphilippage]

I'll try to describe this more clearly. I will start the game in windowed mode. The window for the game is not selected the video and the music will play at the same time because I set multi-tasking mode on. The music will not play during the video in windowed mode when it is not in multi-tasking mode. When I run the game in fullscreen, it will not work in either mode and I can tell the window is deselected because I get a glimpse of it. I can click while the video is playing and the music will start playing but at the begging of the music. Tell me if something is unclear.

Ok, so the root cause of this problem is that the game window is not selected when it starts up.

This is not a problem I have seen reported before ... are you running Vista, and does it pop up a message about compatibility mode when you start the game?

I am running it in xp, there are no messages, and it starts out selected and then deselects when the movie starts.

Are you running with Direct3D 9 or DirectX 5 driver? Has anyone else had a problem like this? Are you using ffdshow as your divx codec? (it has been known to cause some problems)
