Title: PlayVideo() problems
Post by: Isegrim on Sat 13/09/2003 11:59:47
Hi!

I'm having some trouble with video clips: I'm doing a 16-bit color game which should play a movie at some time. When I use Flic movies, the colors are a bit weird. When I use an AVI or MPEG (whit PlayVideo() of course), I get the in-game error message: File not found or format not supported. I made very sure, that the reason for this is not a misspelling in the filename.
The AVI codecs I tried were Indeo 5.1 and Microsoft Video 1.
Could it be the codec? I can use others, but I would like to know which.

If you're using an AVI or MPEG, you have to put the video file in the Compiled folder (not the game folder). Could that be the reason?

MPEG-1 should always play fine.

Yep, that did it.

I guess that was RTFM again, right? :-[
