playing wmv video (SOLVED)

[left]

I have formatted my video to the wmv (windows media) video. When trying to run it in the game it plays a bit of the audio (no image) then crashes the game. I was under the impression that ags would play anything windows media player would play. And since wmv is a windows media player codec i would expect this to work best. Or am i wrong?
I figured this would be the best codec as every one with a windows system should have it. And in addition it produces really low file sizes.

thanks leftism

It should work, in theory, but I haven't tested any WMV files. Has anyone tried and had success with them?

I am currently using WMV video in my game. It works fine on all the systems I've tested it on so far.
The problem could be in your video size or the form of WMV compression you are using. If you are using Windows Movie Maker, I suggest you use "Video for broadband film content 768kbps", and play back the video using the scaled video script in AGS.

Hi,
I have been using after effects to compress the video. I have just tried using windows movie maker and it works fine. I gues there is some kind of problem with the way after effects makes the wmv as its fine with other types of compression.

problem solved
