I have a really annoying problem with this on Blitz3D... it appears to work on my machine, but then it freezes up on someone else's machine, plays the sound but doesn't display the video and then makes the program stop working, or gives a crash.
My guess is that they might be having bad codecs, but it appears that they can play the video itself in media player and other players...
Main problem is not being able to tell if they have the RIGHT codec (MPEG 4 Xvid for avi) which could be the reason why it has to fail like that...
Function Play_Intro_Video()
Local video=OpenMovie(Ex("effects\at1logo.avi"))
Local pastbuffer=GraphicsBuffer()
SetBuffer BackBuffer()
If video<>0
While MoviePlaying(video)=True
DrawMovie(video,0,0,GraphicsWidth(),GraphicsHeight())
Flip
Wend
CloseMovie video
Else
RuntimeError("Dingo crap happens with the intro video..")
EndIf
SetBuffer pastbuffer
End Function
How would you do the above?
