AGS video problems with Windows 7

[AnasAbdin]

hi all, me and my boring problems.. nothing new..
question 1:

when I had Windows XP, AGS played videos like a charm. I had both .avi and .wmv formats playing with no problems at all. After switching to Windows 7 (shmivvin)... not only all videos didn't work, but the game itself was a blank screen. I switched my color depth from 32bit to 16bit, and the game worked, however, videos worked in a black screen with a few colored columns on the right side... I converted them to .ogg (.ogv) then AGS displayed a (unable to load theora video "filename.ogv")... now my game intro/outro, most of the death scenes, and many med-game cut scenes are animations (videos..) do I need to cry or something?  

question 2:

if the problem in question 1 was solved. Does that mean people using Win7 would face the same problem of video failure while playing anastronaut?  

tack så mycket

Apparently you have reduced the whole issue to a mere "where do I place the ogv file" one. As soon as you put the video in the right place and use the correct command to play it, the video should show up fine, and so will it for the people who are going to play your game.

you mean not the Compiled folder?  :o

How I love quoting the manual:

OGG Theora videos are also built into the game EXE file when you compile the game (just make sure the file has a .OGV extension and is placed in your main game folder).
